City’s 2,884 fans in the packed away end had plenty to cheer early on when One nodded home a Reeco Hackett-Fairchild free-kick, which home goalkeeper Joel Pereira should perhaps have saved.<\/p>\n
Reading, unbeaten at home in their previous 10 matches, were unable to make any headway against the Imps’ well-drilled defence.<\/p>\n
Charlie Savage fired wastefully wide in a rare home attack, while defender Ryley Towler drove narrowly over as the visitors almost doubled their lead.<\/p>\n
Lincoln were content to sit back for much of the second period, their job almost completed, as the Royals drove forward relentlessly but fruitlessly.<\/p>\n
City substitute Alfie Lloyd headed wide from a Conor McGrandles cross before Reading equalised through Wing’s fine 20-yard free kick.<\/p>\n
In the sixth minute of added time, Moylan slammed home from close range as Lincoln returned to the second tier for the first time since 1961 and dealt a blow to the home side’s play-off hopes.<\/p>\n
Skubala says they want to crown their achievement by securing the League One title and they are 12 points clear of second-placed Cardiff.<\/p>\n
“We want to win the title, the lads have said that they definitely want to win it,” he said. “It’s going to be tough, but let’s go and get that done as well.<\/p>\n
“We’ll enjoy tonight, we’ll go out and have a beer. But we’ll be back in on Wednesday, after a day off tomorrow, and then we’ll be ready for a big game at home [Leyton Orient on Saturday].<\/p>\n
“It’s an unbelievable feeling now. The lads have been excellent all season and to get the job done today, to get promoted on Easter Monday, just epitomises our season.”<\/p>\n
