Lincoln City dinted Huddersfield Town’s Sky Bet League One play-off hopes with a tight win by a goal to nil. The Imps struck in the first-half, with Reeco Hackett tapping the ball home at the back past following a neat flick on of a Tom Bayliss corner from Adam Jackson. Huddersfield, under the interim charge of club legend Jon Worthington, were lacklustre in the final third. Their attacks broke down repeatedly, with star striker Joe Taylor a passer-by for much of his return to Lincolnshire.

“He came onto the pitch and swung for my face." This is what happened to Tim Hughes, who was attacked at an under-17s game in Lincoln. “Thankfully I was able to get my arm up and he just knocked me over, rather than connecting with my cheekbone,” he said. The son of one of the managers in the game rushed onto the field after being ordered to leave the ground due to verbal abuse. The 41-year-old managed to avoid the punch, and filed a complaint to the police as the game was being filmed.
