​Blackpool return to Championship after beating Lincoln City

Blackpool are back in the Championship after a thrilling play-off victory over Lincoln City.

The Tangerines started the game very poorly, with Ollie Turton scoring an own goal in the first minute.

But they composed themselves and got on level terms through Kenny Dougall before half time.

He was the man who fired in the winner in the 54th minute, sealing his side's return to the second division in the English football pyramid.

Blackpool are now back in a league they have not played in since 2014-2015, when they were relegated to League One.
