Lincoln City 2-2 Brentford

Elding has joined Lincoln on a three-month loan from Crewe

Anthony Elding scored on his debut for 10-man Lincoln to earn his new side a point against second-placed Brentford.

Elding levelled after fellow debutant Geoff Horsfield headed into his path.

Danny N'Guessan put the hosts ahead early on from Scott Kerr's cross but Marcus Bean ran through to equalise and Dean Bowditch hit a spectacular second.

Lincoln's Paul Green was shown a straight red card for a foul on Kevin O'Connor and Charlie MacDonald missed from three yards before Elding struck.
