Reserves come from behind to win

Lincoln City's reserve side came from 2-0 down against Blackburn Rovers to progress to the semi finals of the Cup. Goals from Tom Wilkinson, Dany N'Guessan and either Owain Warlow or Ollie Ryan, were enough to see the majority of the small crowd in the Lincolnshire Echo stand go home happy.

A short backpass gave a Blackburn Rovers striker an easy chance to give the visitors a lead, before they extended their lead just before half time. City came out from the break well on top, but couldn't find the net until the goalkeeper misjudged Wilkinson's header and it snook in at the back post. N'Guessan equalised soon after, running clear from the defence before slotting past the keeper. Just before the end, Owain Warlow send a speculative cross into the box, the keeper again misjudged it with Ollie Ryan putting pressure on him, it was unclear though if Ryan got a touch as it went into the net.

It means City will go through to the semi-finals of the competition.
