Lincoln continued to climb away from the bottom of the table as they eased to an emphatic win over 10-man Barnet. City went ahead after 10 minutes when Ben Wright scored from close range and Barnet missed the chance to equalise when Adam Birchall's shot was saved.
Jamie Forrester's penalty, after a foul on Wright, and Louis Dodds's strike from 18 yards out put Lincoln 3-0 up just before Joe O'Cearuill's red card.
Birchall grabbed a consolation before Wright rounded off the scoring.
