Lincoln City missed out on the League One play-off spots as champions Portsmouth won 2-0 at LNER stadium in the final game of the season.

The Imps had a penalty saved early on in the second half as Will Norris kept out Daniel Mandroiu's effort.

The Blues took the lead with 10 minutes remaining, Myles Peart-Harris sliding the ball home and crushing Lincoln's hopes before Paddy Lane netted late on to wrap up victory.

Portsmouth manager John Mousinho's former side - Oxford United - sneaked into the fifth play off sport as a result of Portsmouth's win and Northampton Town scoring a late equaliser against Barnsley.

Portsmouth came close to opening the scoring a number of times in the first half via Colby Bishop, while Chelsea loanee Tino Anjorin had the ball in the back of the net only for the referee to rule it out, halting play after a collision between two players in the build-up.

The second half started well for the hosts, winning a penalty in the 52nd minute. But Daniel Mandroiu slipped as he took the spot-kick and Pompey stopper Will Norris prevented the Imps from taking the lead.

Portsmouth should have gone ahead with 20 minutes as Jack Sparkes looked destined to slide the ball home but Lukas Jensen made an impressive save.

Norris then produced a stunning stop to tip the ball over the bar before the champions took the lead with 10 minutes remaining, Peart-Harris finishing off a flowing move.

Lane struck in added time as Portsmouth finished the season on 97 points, five clear of runners-up Derby County.
