Substitute Isaac Olaofe’s goal completed a 3-2 comeback win for Stockport at home to Lincoln and kept their slim League One automatic promotion hopes alive.

County, who have already confirmed a play-off place, went two goals down through efforts from Ben House and Erik Ring before half-time, but Jayden Fevrier and Will Collar levelled after the break before Olaofe’s dramatic winner.

House’s clinical 24th-minute finish gave Lincoln the lead from Tendayi Darikwa’s pass.

Ring doubled the Imps’ advantage three minutes from half-time with an emphatic finish past Corey Addai.

County’s Fevrier halved the deficit three minutes after the break with a low effort past George Wickens.

Kyle Wootton’s 51st-minute header struck a post and Wickens claimed the rebound as Stockport almost levelled.

Brad Hills sent a header against the crossbar, before Fevrier’s 78th-minute cross was emphatically nodded home by Collar to equalise.

The turnaround was completed three minutes later when Fevrier set up fellow substitute Olaofe to snatch the winner.

Jack Moylan came agonisingly close to an equaliser for Lincoln but struck a post before full-time.
