Two goals in as many second-half minutes gave Lincoln a 2-0 win against Bradford at Valley Parade. The Imps went in front after 62 minutes when right-back Simon Ramsden brought down Jamie Clarke and Rene Howe scored from the penalty spot. Bradford were stunned a minute later when Chris Fagan ran through the home defence virtually unchallenged to slot the ball past goalkeeper Simon Eastwood. The home side, who have not scored a goal in their first four league and cup matches, had been given the chance to take the lead in the 36th minute when Shane Clarke handled in the box, but Imps goalkeeper Rob Burch saved Michael Flynn's spot-kick. Chris Brandon and Peter Thorne had shots blocked and James Hanson saw his effort turned away for a corner, but Lincoln hit back strongly at the start of the second half and defender Steve Williams cleared off the line before the visitors went in front.
