League One, League Two highlights and round-up: Lincoln held, Burton win

Jorge Grant missed a penalty as League One leaders Lincoln had to settle for a 1-1 draw against 10-man Peterborough.

The visitors dominated the early stages and it was no surprise when they took the lead on 10 minutes, albeit in slightly fortuitous fashion. Jonson Clarke-Harris’ shot was cleared off the line by Adam Jackson, hit the back of TJ Eyoma and bounced into the net.
