Matt Rhead’s early goal sets Lincoln on their way to the third round

Goals from Matt Rhead and John Akinde saw Lincoln City overcome Carlisle United 2-0 and book a place in the third round of the FA Cup.

Rhead found the net just 30 seconds into the second round tie while Akinde, the man Rhead replaced in the starting line-up, added a second goal four minutes from time to avoid a nervy finish.

The Imps deservedly progressed, although they were indebted to goalkeeper Josh Vickers, who made several important saves before the game-clinching second goal.

The Imps made a dream start as they took the lead inside the first minute. The ball was worked wide to Bruno Andrade on the left and he sent in a tantalising cross which was touched home at the back post by Rhead.

The Cumbrians almost levelled with their first attack of the game in the ninth minute as Regan Slater rattled the post with an angled drive.

The Imps’ second goal finally arrived four minutes from time when another wonderful cross from Andrade was slid home by top scorer Akinde for his seventh goal of the season.
