SONNY AND CHEERS FOR RISING IMPS

CARDIFF boss Brian Barry-Murphy admitted LINCOLN did a job on his side after a 2-1 defeat broke their five-game winning run in the league.

The Imps climbed above Bradford into the automatic promotion places and now trail leaders Cardiff by three points.

Lincoln led through Alex Robertson's own goal just before the break and although Perry Ng equalised shortly after the interval, Sonny Bradley (above) won it with a close-range header.

"It is a very disappointing result for us," said Barry-Murphy (inset).

"Once we scored I thought we would go on and create more chances to try to win the game, but it didn't work out that way."
