Morecambe secured only their second win of the season with a fine 3-1 win over Lincoln City.

Sammy McIlroy's strugglers bounced back from last week's heavy home defeat to dominate a game against Chris Sutton's improving Imps.

Stewart Drummond gave the Shrimps the lead with a header from Craig Stanley's left wing cross.

Phil Jevons doubled the advantage just before half time with his second penalty in successive weeks and Paul Mullin secured the points on 53 minutes with a close range finish from Neil Wainwright's excellent right wing cross.

Rene Howe pulled one back for Lincoln with 10 minutes to go but the Imps' comeback was halted when defender Eric Lichaj was sent off for kicking out at Laurence Wilson.
