Brave Lincoln City beaten by West Ham

It wasn't the result Lincoln City fans wanted but their side went toe to toe with Premier League West Ham and gave a fantastic account of themselves.

They were beaten 1-0 after a 70th minute strike by the Hammers.

It was a bitter blow for the Imps who'd competed well and even had a goal disallowed.

It was a brilliant match - absolutely awesome

Afterwards Imps fans weren't too downhearted.

One told us: "It was the best game I've seen for a long long time - a terrific match."

Others told us: "It was a wonderful performance."

"We deserved to have a deflected shot go in the corner."

"It was a brilliant match to be fair - it was absolutely awesome."

"Lincoln were the better team in the first half - we did ourselves really proud."

"I thought they tried their very best and maybe we just had a bit of bad luck."

"I was a great game of football."

I was really proud of the team

Head coach Mark Kennedy said: "We know going into every game we may not hit the targets we set but we know we have a group of players that give their all for the club."

"I think we're really tough to break down and hard to beat."

"I think it was Saturday or Sunday I watched Newcastle beat Sheffield United 8-0 - these kind of teams can do that - so I was quite relieved."

He added he was really proud of his team.
