Imps corner
Johnson bursts forward but runs out of room to Blackpool’s defence. He tries to get the fans going afterwards.
GOAL BLACKPOOL! 2-1!
Dougall is at it again to make it 2-1!
The ball comes in from the right, Yates is onto it and lays it back for the midfielder to hit low again from the edge of the box on his right foot!
Embleton and Turton link up well on the right wing, the cross from the right turned behind.
Garbutt’s cross is just about dealt with, Blackpool keep it alive and Stewart slices a volley over.
Half Time: Blackpool 1-1 Lincoln City
After a nightmare start, Pool have grown into the game and got themselves level.
The Imps went ahead after just 50 seconds, Johnson getting down the right wing and his low cross was turned into his own net by Turton.
Blackpool grew into the game and got control, but in the end it was Yates stealing possession high up that set them on their way. Dougall received possession on the edge of the box and rifled it low past Palmer.
