Brentford enjoyed 80% of the possession but the resilient visitors hit back in the 75th minute when substitute Mikael Mandron headed Alex MacDonald’s cross at the near post, ensuring the Gills’ only shot of the match counted. A thrilling battle from the spot ended when Gillingham midfielder Alex MacDonald scored the sixth penalty and Damsgaard saw his effort hit the post, sealing victory for the underdogs. The win capped a forgettable day for the Kent club as they had to spend the final leg of their trip in Brentford, which meant kick-off was delayed by 20 minutes. “We had to walk here, we had to climb over hurdles and help each other over fences,” Gillingham manager Neil Harris said. “We got about a quarter of a mile from the Chiswick roundabout and got stuck. Luckily we had a tactic on the bus. But we couldn’t move and they couldn’t bring us a police escort. So we got in touch with the officials and decided to walk – probably about a 10-minute walk.” Frank Lampard suffered an embarrassing exit from the Carabao Cup as his Everton side were crushed 4-1 by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The League One side took the lead in the seventh minute when midfielder Matty Virtue had time and space 25 yards to the left of goal and slotted home a sweet right-footed strike. It was 2-0 on 15 minutes as Ben House robbed young defender Joe Lowe, making his first start for the Robins, and raced home from inside the box. Four minutes into the second half Lincoln were in dreamland as Paudie O’Connor headed home the third from almost on the goal line after a free-kick was not dealt with. Substitute Tommy Conway fired home from close range on 80 minutes but Lincoln, who were dumped out of the FA Cup by non-League side Chippenham at the weekend, were in no mood to surrender their advantage.

And he added his second with a similar close-range finish in the 90th minute from team-mate Vitinho’s cross.
