Full time: Chester 2 Lincoln 5

The unbeaten run is over in the league and the result did flatter the visitors but the Imps were full value for the points. The challenge now is to make sure they don’t crumble after such a loss.

That's that

Glorious chance

Ridiculous

The ref has been woeful today. Ignores a pulled shirt offence on Richards. His shirt is actually ripped. Joke.

Lost its spark

Neither side really threatening at the moment. Lincoln seem content to just shut out the Blues now. Chester struggling to find inroads.
