Jack Moylan was called the "magic man" by Lincoln boss Michael Skubala after the Dubliner's double secured a 2-1 League One victory over Burton.
Former Shelbourne striker Moylan scored in both halves, either side of Jake Beesley’s equaliser, as the Imps closed the gap on Brian Barry-Murphy's league-leading Cardiff to three points and stretched their unbeaten league run to 10 matches.
Moylan, who also played for Bohemians and on loan at Wexford during his time in the League of Ireland, joined Lincoln from Shelbourne in January 2024.
"We call Jack the magic man as he finds these magic moments," said Skubala.
"Sometimes in these tight games, you need that sort of individual. I thought his first goal was magnificent and the second one, he scores those types of goals all the time in training."
Moylan created the opener out of nothing in the 35th minute, surging towards the visitors’ box and scoring from 25 yards via Bradley Collins’ left-hand post.
Burton levelled two minutes later as Jack Armer’s cross from the left was slammed home by an unmarked Beesley.
But 10 minutes after the break, Moylan slotted home the winner after goalkeeper Collins spilled Freddie Draper’s shot.
