Vale hit four past sorry Imps
A crowd of just 3,231 saw Vale go ahead after just 23 seconds when a back-pass by Ian Pearce caught out goalkeeper Rob Burch and rolled over the line for an own goal.[LNB]And Vale's lead was doubled two minutes later when the unmarked Rob Taylor clipped a close range shot past Burch from Tommy Fraser's pass.[LNB]It should have been three inside six minutes when Burch plunged to his left to keep out a penalty from Marc Richards after the hapless Pearce had handled.[LNB]Lincoln appealed for a penalty themselves when Richards appeared to handle in the 15th minute, but the visitors conceded a third just seconds later.[LNB]A charging run by Lee Collins led to a low cross from Lewis Haldane which Craig Davies clipped into an empty net from six yards.[LNB]Former Vale loanee Chris Herd had a header cleared off the line in the 44th minute, but Lincoln's miserable night was complete in the 69th minute when John McCombe slammed a fourth from close range.[LNB][LNB]
