Atcheson dismissal shapes stalemate as Lincoln climb | OneFootball

Lincoln City and Blackburn Rovers drew 0-0 on Tuesday, a result that lifts Lincoln from 17th to 16th in the Championship while Blackburn slip from 10th to 12th.

Lincoln threatened early as Robert Street twice headed off target and Reeco Hackett-Fairchild saw efforts blocked, while George Wickens saved from Todd Cantwell before the break.

After the restart Dom Jeffries drew a save from Aynsley Pears and Isaac Olaofe missed from the centre, but the hosts' finishing stayed erratic.

Tom Atcheson received a second yellow and was sent off in the 69th minute, leaving Blackburn to protect the point.

Jayden Fevrier later created a headed chance for Andri Gudjohnsen, and Ryan Alebiosu was replaced through injury in the first minute of second half stoppage time.

Lincoln tallied 18 attempts but hit the target once. Blackburn Rovers had 60% possession and produced two efforts on target from eight attempts.

Next, Lincoln City host Southampton. Blackburn Rovers visit Preston North End.
