Sub Harley Curtis volleyed home the winner after midfielder Liam Gibbs had netted an 89th minute penalty with centre-half Brooklyn Kabongolo having pulled one back with a header five minutes into the second half.
Lambert believes several members of Monday’s side had benefited from being involved in the first team in the Papa John’s Trophy earlier in the season.
“I look at Gibbo and I look at Elkan [Baggott], wee Zander [Siziba] that played for me in the EFL Trophy, some of those kids played for me in the first team, and I think it showed in their maturity and just looking assured with themselves,” he said.
