Lincoln 1-0 Bristol Rovers: Regan Poole condemns Gas to fourth straight defeat
Saturday 11 February 2023 19:06, UK
Lincoln impressive home record continued with a 1-0 win over 10-man Bristol Rovers in Sky Bet League One.
Regan Poole's first league goal of the season ensured the Imps' maintained their impressive run of not losing at Sincil Bank so far this term.
Mark Kennedy's side made it back-to-back league victories for just the second time this season as Joey Barton's Rovers lost for a fourth game on the spin for the first time since the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Rovers goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe produced a great save to tip Paudie O'Connor's header over the bar.
But there was nothing the on-loan Brentford goalkeeper could do to stop Poole powering home a header from Jack Diamond's cross in the 15th minute.
