Lincoln boss Michael Skubala was “really impressed” with his side as they beat 10-man Fleetwood 2-1.
It was a first home win for the club since mid-October as they secured back-to-back victory by coming from behind at Sincil Bank.
Promise Omochere opened the scoring, but Bosun Lawal’s sending-off after a melee in first-half stoppage time turned the game on its head.
Returning Ben House and Lasse Sorensen struck inside five second-half minutes to secure a welcome win.
“It’s nice,” said Skubala. “When you play at home against Fleetwood, you know there’s an expectation to get a result.
“I was really impressed with how we dominated the game in the second half. In the end the quality showed.
“Lukas made a mistake and first thing he did was apologise for the lads. He’s had a great season for us, so we allow him to make a mistake.
“It’s not easy against 10 men. We saw that against Burton, it can be tough mentally.
“There were some huge performances out there today. We controlled the second half really well.
“You have to be calm against 10 men. Wait for the moments and that’s what’s happened.”
And when asked his opinion on the dismissal, Skubala said: “I didn’t really see what happened with the sending-off.
“I think there was some confusion in terms of who to book.
“I didn’t hear what Lawal said, there’s a long way between us and the fourth official.
“All I know was there was a lot of hugging really. It looked like the ball was going into the box so I was looking at that.”
Fleetwood were bidding to win three straight league games for the first time since March 2021.
Boss Charlie Adam said: “We are on the wrong side of a mistaken identity and it’s cost us at the end of the day.
“We had real control of the game and once we scored the goal we had a real tempo.
“It’s a big disappointment for us with the circumstances surrounding the result. But I’ve told the lads in the dressing room that they have to roll their sleeves up and move on to Tuesday now.
“It’s always tough to take when something like that happens, but you can’t change it.
“We played really well in stages. We controlled the game and then it turned on a decision.
“I’m really pleased with the performance from the boys. We roll our sleeves up and go again.
“That’s all you can do.”
