Ten-man Lincoln rescued an unlikely 1-1 draw away at in-form Blackpool thanks to a 95th-minute header from substitute Tom Hamer.

Deep into second-half stoppage time, former Burton defender Hamer rose highest to nod in a Tom Bayliss cross to end Steve Bruce’s winning start in the league.

With the game heading towards a goalless stalemate, the away side were reduced to 10 men following defender Adam Jackson’s second yellow card.

The hosts immediately took advantage of the extra man as Kyle Joseph found the net from Ashley Fletcher’s cutback 16 minutes from the end.

But Hamer sparked jubilant scenes in the away end with his dramatic late leveller as he ensured his side remained unbeaten on the road since January.
