Following their win, Lincoln has been crowned the Sky Bet League One champions. The team, led by Michael Skubala, had already secured promotion to the Championship on April 6 after beating Reading 2-1. With four points collected from the subsequent two games, the Imps needed to avoid defeat at the Eco-Power Stadium to secure the league title, which they achieved with a 2-0 victory on Tuesday night. This win marks Lincoln's entry into the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years, starting from the 2026/27 season.
The Imps have had a remarkable season, and the goals scored by Ben House on either side of the break secured their 27th consecutive unbeaten game. The team started strongly, with a penalty saved by Thimothee Lo-Tutala after Harry Clifton fouled Jack Moylan in the box.
Before the break, the Imps took the lead in the 43rd minute when Matty Pearson miscued a clearance, allowing the ball to reach Moylan, who then set up House to score. After the break, it was a one-sided game, with Lincoln dominating and creating several scoring opportunities. The team eventually doubled their lead in the 72nd minute when House headed home a cross from Hamer.
Lincoln boss Michael Skubala expressed his pride and satisfaction with the team's performance, stating that they have exceeded expectations and made dreams come true. Skubala attributed the team's success to their relentless work ethic, resilience, and the strong bond among the players and staff. The Imps will celebrate their historic achievement with a party on Saturday against Wycombe at home.
