The Imps broke the deadlock after just two minutes, with Jack Moylan driving his way into the box unmarked from the right side, before curling an effort towards the back post.
A second quickly came the way of the visitors, as Ian Evatt’s side proved to be too slow when attempting to close down their opponents once again.
With time being gifted to him on the edge of the box, Rob Street released an attempt, with a deflection helping the forward to beat Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
Following minimal action in the opposition box, Ashley Fletcher earned his side a route back into the game, after winning a penalty.
Lee Evans stepped up to convert, and made no mistake as he fired past George Wickens.
Following the restart, Adam Reach thought he added another goal for the Imps, but his celebrations were cut quickly short by the linesman’s flag.
Down the other end, there were half chances for Blackpool – who had been given a burst of energy following the penalty.
A golden opportunity to equalise fell George Honeyman’s way, with the midfielder placing a shot wide of the target from close-range following some good work from Fletcher in the box.

Following a couple of miss hits in the box, Fletcher pounced to beat Wickens from close-range.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:
