Lincoln City has been crowned the champion of Sky Bet League One following a 2-0 victory over Doncaster. Having already secured promotion to the Championship on April 6 with a 2-1 win over Reading, Michael Skubala's side needed only to avoid defeat at the Eco-Power Stadium to clinch the title. The Imps achieved this with a win on Tuesday night, marking their 27th consecutive unbeaten game.
Goals from Ben House, one on either side of the break, sealed the victory. The team's remarkable season will see them play in the second tier of English football for the first time in 65 years. Lincoln started strong, with a penalty saved by Thimothee Lo-Tutala in the 20th minute. However, they took the lead in the 43rd minute when Matty Pearson's miscued clearance found its way to House, who scored.
After the break, Lincoln dominated, with Street, Ivan Varfolomeev, and Moylan all having efforts on goal. The team eventually doubled their lead in the 72nd minute when House headed home from a cross.
Lincoln boss Michael Skubala praised the team's performance, saying it exceeded expectations and made dreams come true. The team's work ethic and resilience were highlighted as key factors in their success. With the title win, Lincoln will look to celebrate on Saturday against Wycombe at home.
