Lincoln City 2-1 Milton Keynes Dons

  • Published

Jason Shackell's last-gasp header saw Lincoln strengthen their grip on top spot in League Two as the Imps secured victory over MK Dons.

The former Derby defender headed home in the fifth minute of added time as the Imps completed a stunning turnaround.

Shay McCartan had earlier cancelled out substitute Rhys Healey's opener for the visitors at Sincil Bank.

Lincoln had the first chance when McCartan's acrobatic effort was tipped over by goalkeeper Lee Nicholls.

Imps goalkeeper Josh Vickers was called into action when he produced a fine save to keep out Ryan Watson's attempt.

McCartan went close again five minutes before the break when he beat the onrushing Nicholls to the ball, but could only poke his effort over the crossbar.

Healey, just six minutes after coming off the bench, broke the deadlock with a powerful finish.

Lincoln levelled when John Akinde's knockdown was smashed home by McCartan before Shackell rose to head home Bruno Andrade's corner to send the home crowd wild.
