Victory: Lincoln beat Chelsea U21s on penalties 

Lincoln City FC will be playing at Wembley Stadium for the first time in the club's history on April 28. 

​

The Imps came close to Wembley in last year's FA Cup, reaching the quarter-final, only to be beaten 5-0 by Arsenal. 

​

This season the wait is finally over, after Lincoln beat Chelsea U21s on penalties in the semi-final of the Checkatrade Trophy.

​

Danny Cowley told LincSport: "Wembley means everything, it's the pinnacle and we've had to fight really hard tonight." 

​

The League two side have the chance to win another trophy after winning the National League title last season.

​

The game went to penalties after both sides failed to score a winner in normal and extra time. 

​

The score on penalties was 4-2 in favour of Lincoln City FC. 

​

Lee Frecklington kept his cool to slot away the winning penalty and sent the Imps fans wild. 

Lee Frecklington told LincSport: "My main focus when I was walking to the penalty spot was my daughter, she told me this morning that she really wants to go to Wembley, I had to do it for her". 

​

Tickets prices for the final have been announced on the club's website, however sale dates and details to be released shortly.
