WELLING United resoundingly beat a youthful Millwall side at Park View Road last night.

Coming off the back of three wins against lower opposition the nature of the victory against professionals, and in particular some of the passing play, will have impressed manager Jamie Day.

In the early exchanges it was Millwall who had the first sight on goal but Conor Wilkinson flashed in a shot which left Wings keeper Sam Mott untroubled.

Welling nearly grabbed the lead when a clever free-kick by Joe Healy on the edge of the area almost caught out Stephen Mildenhalll but the Lions stopper was alert enough to tip over his chipped effort.

Day went close but fired wide before Welling were rewarded in the 15th minute when a deflected shot by Lee Clarke was cleverly flicked on by Ross Lafayette and with Mildenhall stranded, Healy was on hand to tap home.

One soon became two as Jack Sammoutis was dispossessed midway inside his own half by Kiernan Hughes-Mason.

The former Millwall youngster played in Luis Cumbers, who with one touch coolly curled a shot past Mildenhall.

Welling were now fully in the ascendancy and really dictating the play.

A Loui Fazakerley cross was half cleared to Cumbers but he just failed to keep his effort down.

Next it was Hughes-Mason causing terror in the Millwall defence and following a quick break away his low pass into the box just eluded Cumbers at the back post.

Welling were restricting Millwall to shots from distance and again Wilkinson tried his luck but his tame shot was straight at Mott.

Just before an eventful first half drew to a conclusion Ben Martin saw his header blocked on the line and Hughes-Mason just failed to make sufficient contact to trouble Mildenhall from the rebound.

Both sides made changes in the second half, notably with Welling introducing Jon Main.

It wasn't long until the front man was causing problems as his looping header didn't quite have enough power to trouble the keeper.

Main then showed great skill to squeeze his way through the defence before deciding to cut the ball across when a shot looked his better option.

Welling soon made it three as Shaq Richards made a bursting run into the Millwall box before cutting back to the onrushing Harry Baker who made no mistake.

Fazakerley playing out on the left in the absence of Jack Obberstellar, powered past two players before cutting inside and blazing his shot over.

In a rare Millwall attack William De Havilland headed over from a corner.

Back came the home side and great interchanging of passing between Baker and Fazakerley saw the latter hit a long range effort which was tipped well over the bar.

Fraser Franks saw his header from a Baker corner cleared off the line before Main was on the prowl again, but as the striker was sent clear a heavy touch meant he was unable to get a crisp shot away and his effort was blocked for a corner.

Millwall had the final chances of the game as Jason Twum did well to twist and get a shot away but his effort was wide of the goal before Aiden O'Brien shot straight at Mott.
