Blackpool Fight Back to Earn Point Against Lincoln City in Thrilling 2-2 Draw

Late Drama at Bloomfield Road

Blackpool’s final home game before Christmas ended with a 2-2 draw with Lincoln City following a late equaliser from Ashley Fletcher. The match, played on 13 December 2025, showcased the resilience of the Seasiders as they fought back from two goals down to claim a crucial point in their League One campaign.

Lincoln’s Fast Start

Jack Moylan and Rob Street helped the visitors race to a two-goal lead inside the opening 18 minutes, putting the Imps in a commanding position. The Imps broke the deadlock after just two minutes, with Moylan driving his way into the box unmarked from the right side, before curling an effort towards the back post. The early goals stunned the home crowd at Bloomfield Road.

Seasiders’ Comeback

The Seasiders pulled their first goal back through a Lee Evans penalty just after the half mark, before Fletcher levelled the scores heading into the closing stages. Following a couple of miss hits in the box, Fletcher pounced to beat Wickens from close-range as the points were shared. The comeback demonstrated Blackpool’s fighting spirit despite their struggles this season.

League One Context and Significance

Currently, Blackpool rank 22nd, while Lincoln City hold 3rd position in the League One table. For Blackpool, battling near the bottom of the table, this point could prove vital in their fight to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Lincoln will feel disappointed not to have secured all three points after their dominant start, as they continue their push for promotion from third place.

The result reflects the unpredictable nature of League One football, where teams must fight until the final whistle. For Blackpool supporters, Fletcher’s late equaliser provided a welcome morale boost heading into the festive period, whilst Lincoln will need to learn to protect leads if they are to maintain their push for automatic promotion.
