Ashley Fletcher nets late leveller to earn Blackpool draw with Lincoln

Ashley Fletcher nets late leveller to earn Blackpool draw with Lincoln

Ashley Fletcher netted a late equaliser as Blackpool came from behind to draw 2-2 with Lincoln at Bloomfield Road.

Jack Moylan and Rob Street helped the Imps take a two-goal advantage inside 18 minutes before the Seasiders gave themselves something to fight for following a Lee Evans penalty just after the half-hour mark, with Fletcher levelling six minutes from time.

The opener came after only three minutes, with Moylan gifted space to curl an effort past Bailey Peacock-Farrell from a tight angle.

It was a similar story for Street, who was awarded time to release his shot which took a slight deflection to lift the ball over the Northern Ireland goalkeeper from the edge of the box.

Evans’ successful spot-kick following a foul on Fletcher in the box breathed some life into the game for Ian Evatt’s side.

George Honeyman should have already pulled the Seasiders level from close-range in the second half before Fletcher finished past George Wickens to see the points shared on the Fylde Coast.
