Ebbsfleet found themselves the victims of Lincoln City's biggest win of the season as they went down 3-0 at Sincil Bank in Blue Square Bet Premier on Saturday.

Conal Platt opened the scoring for the Imps on 37 minutes when he curled a shot from 20 yards out into the top left corner past a helpless Preston Edwards.

Nathaniel Pinney missed out on a chance to level the scores just before the break when Lincoln keeper Paul Farman saved from close range.

Fleet substitute Liam Enver-Marum was denied shortly after coming on by another fine finger-tipped save by Farman, who then clung on to a stiff Paul Lorraine header from the resulting corner.

Despite the pressure from the visitors, Simon Russell's volley from a cleverly worked Alan Power free-kick put Lincoln 2-0 ahead, effectively sealing the win on 74 minutes.

Former Gillingham defender John Nutter then rounded off the scoring six minutes later with a free-kick, moments after Yado Mambo (pictured) was shown a red card for a professional foul on Power.
