Bishop's two strikes meant he has now hit four goals in as many days, having notched twice against Fleetwood Town on Saturday, while Makama came off the bench for a moment he will never forget.

The 3-0 victory maintained the Imps' impressive start to the season in cup competitions, with a 100% record from all three cup outings so far this term - all of which have come on the road.
