Brendan McDaid hailed a "strong team performance" as Lincoln United secured a surprise victory at promotion-chasing Witton Albion.

After taking the lead through Danny George, the home side surged in front, but an own goal from Ross Lloyd and a brace from McDaid secured three UniBond League Division (South) points for John Wilkinson's side.

"We can be very proud of the second half performance," said the United skipper (pictured). "We said at half-time that we would try to expose them down the channels.

"We knew what their strengths were so we took their star players out of the game."

United broke the deadlock when George rose highest to head home, but the home side equalised in the 33rd minute through Ronnie Morgan.

Albion took the lead two minutes after half-time when Carl Lamb turned in Lloyd's cross, but the Whites were level in the 54th minute when McDaid headed home.

The Whites then took the lead 15 minutes from time as Smith's corner ricocheted off two Albion players before taking a deflection off Lloyd.

With eight minutes left, McDaid grabbed his second and United's fourth when he curled the ball home.

"It was a strong, team performance," added McDaid.

"It's nice to get a couple of goals. Over the years I've tried to get 10 or 15 goals a season, but I feel if we pass like we did, any midfielder can score goals."
