Goals from front Kyle Wootton and Paddy Madden put the Hatters in control, but a late David McGoldrick strike set up a nervy finish as Stockport remain six points clear at the top of the standings.
Williams said: “They are the best League Two team I’ve ever seen because even when you’re putting the pressure on them they don’t crumble.
“When you watch them get a foothold in the game like we saw them last week and many times before this season, they can just crush a team.
“In order to be a really top team, you have to be able to be consistent and you have to be able to play when you’re the second best team on the pitch for a moment, and to weather the storm, not crumble and come back and be the best team on the pitch. Or you can take a game by the scruff of the neck and run away with it. They can do everything like that.
“I think when a team win 12 league games back-to-back, it’s hard to imagine that they’re not an incredible team.”
It took just seven minutes for Stockport to take the lead following a set-piece off the training ground when Kyle Knoyle’s low corner was steered in by Wootton.
