Lincoln City have claimed the League One title after a comfortable 2-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.

Two goals from Ben House clinched the win and extended City's 27-game unbeaten run to spark celebrations at the final whistle.

The Imps wrapped up the league title with two games to spare and will return to the second tier of English football after a 65-year wait.

Head coach Michael Skubala said: "I told the players it was their job to dream, and they have delivered. Back to the Championship, the unbeaten run, the title – they've made some dreams come true."
