Lincoln City secured their first away victory of the season at Chester - all thanks to efforts from Janos Kovacs and Adrian Patulea.

Hungarian Kovacs headed home in first-half stoppage time from Scott Kerr's corner, via the slightest of touches off Damien Mozika.

Dany N'Guessan wasted a great chance before he set up Patulea who shot home in the 57th minute.

Chester failed to respond with the visitors deservedly taking the points.
