Two goals in five second-half minutes gave struggling Lincoln a vital victory at Morecambe.
The home side took an early lead when Will Haining flicked Mark Duffy's corner to Phil Jevons, who poked home.
Lincoln levelled thanks to Moses Swaibu's free header and went in front when Ashley Grimes converted Gavin Hoyte's cross from 12 yards.
Delroy Facey hit the post for the Imps before Morecambe's Scott Brown saw his late strike fly inches over the bar.
Lincoln City manager Steve Tilson told BBC Lincolnshire: "I felt we totally dominated the second half.
"To score from two set plays that we've worked on on the training ground is always a massive bonus, although we've conceded again from one which disappointed me a little bit.
"It's nice when these things come off and I think on another day we could have had another two or three goals, but we soaked up the pressure at the end, defended for our lives and that's what you have to do to win games."
