​Brett did score early at Lincoln City, but the hosts had moved 2-1 up by the break at LNER Stadium, home of the promotion-chasing men's League One team.

But Brett equalised from a Megan Lawlor free-kick on 73 minutes before she harried a home defender into conceding an own goal seven minutes from time.

Frankie Pim scored the winning goal in added time after goals from Keir Perkins, Ella Hilliard and an opposition player.

Posh are up to third, but are unlikely to catch the top two who have broken clear of the rest.
