Lincoln City extended their unbeaten run to 17 matches following a 4-0 win against Blackpool at the LNER Stadium.
First goals of the season from Conor McGrandles & Dom Jefferies, a third for Ryan Oné and an eighth for Rob Street were enough for the Imps to see off the Seasiders.
Michael Skubala named an unchanged side from their 2-0 win away at Mansfield last weekend.
Long throw specialist Tom Hamer made his 50th start for the Imps in all competitions.
Chance after chance
The first chance of the game came for City as Jack Moylan blasted a ball goalwards towards Bailey Peacock-Farrell, but the ball flew just wide of the far post for a goal kick to the visitors.
Just before the ten-minute mark, the ball fell to Seasiders captain George Honeyman who blasted it towards the goal, but it hit the top of the Stacey West stand and was no problem for the home side.
Moylan made an exceptional run through the middle of the park from his own half and found Rob Street on the left who got to it and shot forcing Peacock-Farrell to a diving save.
City managed to take the lead through McGrandles, who managed to head the ball over the line after a goalmouth scramble.
Three more to the good
After five minutes of the second half, star-man Moylan went down and received treatment from the Imps physio team before being taken off the pitch and replaced by Dom Jefferies.
McGrandles would then come very close to doubling his lead following a ball being flicked onto his head after a Hamer long throw, but Peacock-Farrell was there to make the save.
The Imps doubled their lead with just over ten minutes to go as Street went one-on-one with the goalkeeper following a defensive mistake and walked the ball round him to slot it into the net before celebrating in front of the Stacey West.
Jefferies added his name to the scoresheet for the Imps’ third of the afternoon soon after as Street squared the ball into him and the substitute struck it cool, calm and collected into the back of the Blackpool net.
Another substitute got their name on the scoresheet in Ryan Oné, netting Lincoln’s fourth of the afternoon following a great ball from fellow goalscorer Jefferies with only one minute of normal time left.
Another three points saw Lincoln keep their gap to Cardiff City at one point, whilst also remaining ten points clear of Bolton Wanderers.
Lincoln will travel to automatic promotion rivals Cardiff next Saturday in a 12:30pm kick off which will be described by many as a ‘promotion six-pointer’.
