Blackpool sealed a return to the Championship after a six-year.
Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell failed to deal with Johnson's cross, leading to Turton picking up the unenviable record of scoring the fastest League One play-off final goal and fastest own goal from the start of a club fixture at Wembley.
The Tangerines had a calamitous start when Ollie Turton put Brennan Johnson’s cross in his own net within 50 seconds.
Kenny Dougall levelled before half-time for Blackpool with an accurate low drive into the bottom left-hand corner.
After the break he fired home with a similar low strike from outside the box as Blackpool completed their comeback.
Victory for Blackpool means they return to the Championship for the first time after their relegation from the second tier in 2014-15.
They conceded the fewest goals in League One this season – yet came undone within seconds of kick-off after Turton slotted the ball into his own net.
That goal, however, came following a good first passage of play from Lincoln as they stretched Blackpool out having quickly worked the ball down the wing.
Blackpool goalkeeper Chris Maxwell failed to deal with Johnson’s cross, leading to Turton picking up the unenviable record of scoring the fastest League One play-off final goal and fastest own goal from the start of a club fixture at Wembley.
Unnerved by their start, Maxwell pulled off a fine save to tip Jorge Grant’s strike onto the bar midway through the first half, while Demetri Mitchell forced Lincoln keeper Alex Palmer into a quickfire stop at the other end just minutes later.
Blackpool levelled with 10 minutes to go until half-time when Dougall fired a low drive into the Lincoln net and celebrated immediately in front of their supporters behind the goal.
He fired in a similar strike to seal promotion early in the second period, with Lincoln unable to respond, as Blackpool won their sixth promotion through the English Football League play-offs.
Dougall’s double sends Blackpool up
When Blackpool were here on another sunny day in May 2010, the sky was the limit for the plucky Tangerines as they beat Cardiff City in that season’s Championship play-offs to seal a place in the Premier League.
Six years later, off-the-field matters involving their previous ownership overshadowed matters on the pitch, leading to two successive relegations and fourth-tier football for a club who had entertained the giants of English football at Bloomfield Road not long before.
Fans came together and the ‘Not A Penny More’ campaign kicked off, with supporters vowing not to attend the club’s matches.
When they won promotion from League Two at the first time of asking, again through the play-offs in 2017, there was a sparse amount of Blackpool fans at Wembley.
Once again, there was a reduced number of their supporters in attendance on Sunday, but this time for much different reasons.
After Simon Sadler took over the club from the Oyston family in 2019, the fans returned – whether physically or otherwise because of the pandemic – and under former Liverpool Under-23s coach Neil Critchley, the club have excelled on the pitch.
In the end it was Australian Dougall who pulled Blackpool up from their unwelcome start, his glory made all the sweeter considering he had been without a club and training on his own after his release from Barnsley last summer.
In the end he repaid Blackpool’s loyalty and in some style with a pair of excellent strikes to send his side back to the second tier and continue their rebuild
