Last updated 31st Aug 2023
The Mighty Imps have done it again.
Lincoln have a pretty good record in cup competitions and that continued last night as they beat Sheffield United on penalties.
The game at Bramall Lane ended nil nil meaning spotkicks were needed to separate the 2 sides.
And it was Lincoln who triumphed winning the shootout 3-2.
Huge credit to everybody - it was a great night for sure
Keeper Lukas Jensen was the hero saving twice to ensure the Imps made the second round and now they've set up another big game.
They'll take on a second Premier League side - West Ham at the LNER stadium in the next round.
The exact date has yet to be confirmed but it'll be in the week commencing 25th September.
