Lincoln City came from behind to thrash hapless Burnley 4-1 and pile the pressure on Clarets head coach Nicky Hayen.

Burnley were bright in the first half and took the lead as striker Andreas Hountondji tapped in his first goal for the club, in his 17th appearance.

The Lancashire club's tendency to concede late in a half cost them again, however, as Ben House knocked in a close-range equaliser in first-half stoppage time.

With just one win in the league, Burnley fell apart in the second half as giant Danish striker Mikkel Ladefoged scored twice either side of a neat Dom Jefferies goal to ensure the visitors remained in the bottom three.
