Lewisham College students part of the Millwall's Post-16 Football Academy delivered a standout performance beating Millwall's Archbishop's Post-16 team 6-0 at The Den on Wednesday afternoon.

Millwall were looking to bounce back after last week's 3-2 defeat against Charlton Athletic. The Lions started well and took the lead after just fifteen minutes. 

A superb delivery from Justin was met by Frankie's head, who steered Millwall into the lead. The lead was doubled twelve minutes later as Justin turned goal scorer - working incredibly hard before getting his shot off, which flew into the back of the net. It was three five minutes before the break as a corner was turned home from close range.

After the restart, Archbishop had a chance to pull one back, but the strike went inches wide of the goal. The fourth goal came with twenty minutes remaining as a delivery was smashed home from close range. A fifth goal was added with fifteen minutes remaining before number six arrived in stoppage time.
