It's not just Brighton and Hove Albion who can beat Millwall - back-to-back wins for Lewes Women

A first half goal from Jessica King and a fabulous long-range strike from substitute Charlotte Owen were enough to secure all three points. Lewes had the first chance of the game in the second minute, when Sophie Perry’s free-kick was too high for Danni Lane. The Rooks nearly went ahead in the third minute, after good work from Lane on the left wing and she picked out King, but her effort was well-held by Rhiannon Stewart. Milwall went very close to taking the lead in the sixth minute, as from an inswinging corner Faye Baker tipped the ball onto the inside of the post.

Lewes doubled their lead in tremendous style in the 86th minute, substitute Owen picked up the ball 25 yards out and hit the ball on the half-volley, which flew over Stewart and into the roof of the net. Lewes Manager, Fran Alonso gave his verdict on today’s performance: “The main thing was for us to good play football. I think it was difficult conditions, very windy and the pitch was hard, so it was very difficult to play our style of football. “I think first half we were very good and we had a lot of chances. Second half we weren’t that good, but the main thing is we got the three points, we scored a great second goal and we are very happy.” Alonso also explained how he is trying to change the mentality of the team: “Our main goal is to change from a losing team to a winning mentality and now we have got three wins including our friendly, so it’s very good.” The Rooks' keeper, Faye Baker was pleased with the overall result: “Really happy with the result, a 2-0 win. I don’t think it was our best performance, I think it was quite scrappy. “We could have got the ball down better and kept the ball better. But they came at us in the second half and we rode the storm a bit and then managed to get another goal to secure the win.”
