Lincoln City have sealed promotion to the Championship with a dramatic stoppage time win over Reading, marking a first return to the English second tier in 65 years.

The Imps needed just a point to confirm their passage into the Championship for the 2026/27 campaign and were on course to get just that, even after Reading midfielder Lewis Wing had cancelled out Ryan One's early opener for Lincoln two minutes into second-half stoppage time.

But Jack Moylan scored a 96th-minute winner to secure a 2-1 win at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, putting the exclamation point on the visitors’ promotion.

The result means Michael Skubala's side now have an unassailable 19-point lead atop League One over third-placed Bradford City, with second-place Cardiff City sit 12 points adrift of Lincolnโ€™s tally of 90.

Lincoln are the first team in the Football League to clinch promotion this season.
