ACCRINGTON Stanley have moved up to fifth in League Two after victory at home to Chris Sutton's Lincoln City tonight.

Sean McConville drilled a low shot into the net from 25 yards in the 16th minute before providing the cross for Terry Gornell to volley home a second just three minutes later.

McConville went off injured early in the second half but Gornell made it 3-0 on the hour mark as he found the corner after a fine surging run from Jimmy Ryan.

Lincoln played the final 20 minutes with 10 men after Scott Kerr was shown a straight red card for a poor tackle on fellow substitute Chris Turner.
