Lincoln City produced a dominant second-half display to overturn an early deficit and claim a convincing 4-1 victory at Home Park. After falling behind to Aribim Pepple's 11th-minute opener, the Imps responded immediately through Freddie Draper's equalizer before the break. The visitors then took complete control after the interval, adding three unanswered goals to move further up the League One table. Plymouth's early promise evaporated as defensive lapses and the loss of key personnel through injury hampered their ability to build on their bright start, leaving them to rue missed opportunities in what became a damaging home defeat.
