Paul Henderson was the hero as Leicester beat Lincoln on penalties to reach the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Section quarter-final.

Henderson saved from Scott Kerr and Dany N'Guesson and saw Scott Sinclair blast over as Leicester held their nerve in the shoot-out.

Chances were in short supply during the match, though Steve Howard went close from a Matty Fryatt cross.

Lincoln's best chance saw Henderson save N'Guessan's 20-yard drive.
