Lincoln City 2-2 Accrington Stanley: Dion Charles brace earns draw with Imps
Lincoln City dropped two points but still increased their lead at the top of the League One table after being held to a 2-2 draw by Accrington Stanley.
Dion Charles, who had put Stanley ahead early on, equalised in the 90th minute after Morgan Rogers and Tom Hopper's late header appeared to have turned the game and won it for the Imps.
Lincoln chose to restage the game with an 18:00 GMT Sunday kick-off time following Saturday's postponement due to a frozen pitch.
Michael Appleton's men now sit four point clear of second-placed Hull City, who lost at home on Saturday to MK Dons.
The Imps struggled to cope with Stanley's pressing game early on and were forced into a costly mistake on five minutes when home keeper Alex Palmer's hurried clearance went straight to Charles, who hammered home.
After showing more urgency at the start of the second half, the Imps levelled in the 53rd minute when Brennan Johnson clipped a cross into the box, where Rogers was on hand to head home his second goal for the club.
With six minutes left, after a corner was played short, Jorge Grant curled a wonderful cross to the back post, where Hopper headed in.
But, just as the match was about to enter six minutes of added time. Accrington grabbed the point their performance warranted when David Morgan supplied Charles, whose left-foot volley found the bottom right corner.
