Yet Leam Richardson\u2019s side produced a spirited display and took a deserved lead in the 33<sup>rd<\/sup> minute with a Callum Lang wonder goal.<\/p>\n<p>Lang drove through the Lincoln half before firing into the top corner from 30 yards out. However that lead barely lasted a minute as Wigan pressed the self-destruct button at the other end.<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper Jamie Jones was unable to deal with a routine cross and allowed Anthony Scully to tap home his second goal in two games.<\/p>\n<p>After going into the break level, the second half was an end-to-end encounter. Wigan gave as much effort if not more than their high-flying opponents.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Lots to be proud of there <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/wafc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#wafc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\u2014 Mudhutter (@mudhutter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mudhutter\/status\/1363170988448505856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 20, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However Lincoln snatched the winning goal in the 73<sup>rd<\/sup> minute with Tom Hopper getting the better of Curtis Tilt before firing home.<\/p>\n<p>Despite falling behind Wigan still had chances to rescue a point, however Jamie Proctor, Callum Lang and Will Keane all failed to hit the mark from great positions.<\/p>\n<p>The result sees Lincoln remain top whilst Wigan are second bottom, three points from safety. Wigan boss Leam Richardson was proud of his side&#8217;s display and felt they deserved more from the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result is disappointing and we\u2019re in an elite business where results are everything and we\u2019re totally aware of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe character &#8211; especially after midweek &#8211; and the application and the way we played I felt we deserved more out of the game.
