Highlights of the Sky Bet League One match between Lincoln City and Fleetwood Town

Tyler Walker's first-half double saw Lincoln return to winning ways and keep the pressure on Sky Bet League One leaders Ipswich with a 2-0 win over Fleetwood.

The striker - who is on a season-long loan from Nottingham Forest - scored twice in the space of 60 seconds, with a diving header being followed by a clinical finish after being set up by debutant Callum Connolly.

Fleetwood dominated possession in the first half-an-hour, but Joey Barton's side failed to make the most of it and they were punished as the Imps took control with two quick-fire goals.

The first goal arrived after 34 minutes when left-back Harry Toffolo swung over a glorious cross from the left which was headed home by Walker.

The Imps then struck again immediately when Connolly, who has just arrived on loan from Everton, slipped a cracking pass through to Walker, who slotted beyond former Imps goalkeeper Matt Gilks.
