Chelsea were given a major scare by Lincoln but goals from teenager Tyrique George and Facundo Buonanotte saw the Blues come from behind to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round. Lincoln, third in Sky Bet League One, sensed a giant-killing over the Club World Cup champions when Rob Street gave them a deserved lead just before half-time following a major blunder from Enzo Fernandez. But George levelled just after the interval before Buonanotte, on loan from Brighton, grabbed his first goal for a much-changed Chelsea in the 50th minute as the quickfire strikes sealed a 2-1 win. Lincoln were given a thunderous ovation as they walked off at half-time but hopes of a stunning upset took a turn when Chelsea struck twice inside three minutes just after the resumption. George had hitherto been anonymous but he then provided the assist for Buonanotte, who exchanged passes with the 19-year-old before jinking past a couple of weak challenges and toe-poking past Jeacock.
