The Imps close in on leaders Cardiff after home victory

LINCOLN cut Cardiff's lead at the top of Sky Bet League One with a 2-1 victory at the LNER Stadium.

The Imps climbed above Bradford into the automatic promotion places and now trail Cardiff by three points, albeit the Bluebirds have a game in hand.

Lincoln led through Alex Robertson's own goal just before the break and, although Perry Ng equalised shortly after the interval, Sonny Bradley's close-range header secured victory.

Bradford failed to take advantage of Cardiff's slip as Dom Ballard’s double condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Leyton Orient.

Fourth-placed Stevenage were held 2-2 at home by Burton and Stockport moved level on points with them after a 2-1 comeback success at Mansfield.
