Kettering Town grabbed a stunning injury-time winner in tonight's FA Cup first-round replay.
Substitute Iyseden Christie scored one minute into time added-on to knock out Coca-Cola League Two side Lincoln City 2-1 at Sincil Bank.

Craig Westcarr had cancelled out John-Lewis' opener for the Imps before Christie hit the headlines to send Poppies supporters wild.

The hosts had dominated the early stages as Stefan Oakes' cross-cum-shot landed on the crossbar before Chris Beardsley headed wide at the other end.

However, it was Dany N'Guessan – the Imps' scorer at the A-Line Arena – who came the closest to breaking the deadlock.

He was denied by a great save from Lee Harper and just a minute later a last-ditch block from Guy Branston prevented another shot for the goalkeeper to deal with.

The Poppies were desperately unlucky not to take the lead nine minutes before the break. Andre Boucaud released Jean-Paul Marna and he turned inside Janos Kovacs before cracking a shot off the outside of the post.

But Kettering were not to be denied - even though they left it so late.

What a great night in Lincoln, and what a great atmosphere i was near the back of the co-op stand and the singing and chanting was amazing. We didn't stop singing from start to finish and a great effort from the team with Branston and Boucard outstanding, well down to Mark cooper and the back room staff also. Looking forward to Notts County away and maybe another upset.

A football Fan,

i am a neutral football fan who travelled to Lincoln on Tuesday with my 12 year old son to witness a good game of footbal sadly spoiled by the mindless chanting at the Lincoln City manager. Some of the names he was called by your supporters beggers belief and i feel that your supporters club should issue an apology for these pathetic specimens that think they are football supporters. I am considering travelling to Nottingham for your next game and really hope you cause another upset but please rid yourselves of these mindless idiots but they tarnish your reputation totally
