Lincoln destroy Swindon to maintain their superb start

-

LINCOLN beat Swindon 4-1 to maintain their 100 per cent start in Sky Bet League Two.

Exeter also have maximum points after a 2-0 win at Morecombe, who have now lost both their opening league games. A last-minute goal from substitute Ousseynou Cisse gave MK Dons, relegated from League One last season, a 1-0 home win over Bury as they too began with six points from six.

Forest Green Rovers had looked on course to keep up their own 100 per cent start before Oldham hit a second-half equaliser.

Mansfield also had to settle for a point after a 2-2 draw at Yeovil, where all the goals came in the first half. Diallang Jaiyesimi gave the home side an early lead, but Craig Davies soon equalised. Yoann Arquin put Yeovil back in front before Matt Preston headed the Stags level in an action-packed opening 26 minutes.

Alex Revell scored twice in the closing two minutes as Stevenage won 3-1 at Crawley. Colchester also maintained their unbeaten start with a 2-0 home win over Port Vale. James Norwood’s early free-kick helped Tranmere to a 1-0 victory over winless Cheltenham. Macclesfie­ld also remain without a point after going down 2-0 at home to Grimsby.

Carlisle, though, picked up a first positive result after a 2-2 home draw with Northampto­n.

Newport beat Crewe 1-0 with a header from Padraig Amond.
