Lincoln City 3 - 4 Hereford

Lincoln City   3 - 4   Hereford

Mathieu Manset's second goal was the deciding factor

Mathieu Manset's winner edged Hereford past fellow League Two club Lincoln in a pulsating FA Cup second round replay.

Manset put the Bulls ahead with a left-foot shot but Jamie Clapham levelled from close range before Delroy Facey forced the ball home to put City ahead.

Stuart Fleetwood swept in an equaliser and restored United's lead with a long-range shot but Ashley Grimes levelled.

Kenny Lunt set up Manset to book a third round tie at Wycombe before United's Ryan Green was sent off.

Green, who had earlier been booked, was dismissed in stoppage time for a deliberate handball.

Before Manset's clincher, Hereford had twice hit the woodwork while Janos Kovacs missed an easy header.

They now travel to Adams Park on Tuesday night.

Lincoln City manager Steve Tilson told BBC Lincolnshire:
"We had enough chances to win and if you score three goals at home you should win the match. We've conceded four goals too many, but if you look at the back four we had to put out today we were probably going to have to score four or five to win.

"I couldn't fault the lads for effort and commitment, they've given everything but we've conceded too many poor goals today.

"I'm disappointed because I thought we had a fantastic chance of going through, especially the way the game was panning out but you can't concede four goals at home and look to get through."

Hereford manager Jamie Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester:
"That open style is always the way I wanted to play when I was a player and it is something that hopefully I can continue to bring into the side.

"We have just got to make sure that if we are going to do that we are tight at the back and that we consolidate there.

"If you are going to keep the ball then you have got to be good at getting it back and you have to make sure you defend well."
