Lincoln City toppled Chelsea's Under-21s to reach the final of the Checkatrade Trophy at Wembley on Tuesday night.

The Imps claimed a 4-2 penalty shootout win after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Lincoln took the lead in the 72nd minute through Luke Waterfall as he headed home Neal Eardley's cross. Chelsea's youngsters levelled things up just five minutes later though with Daishawn Redan emphatically turning and firing into the net to send the contest to penalties.
