August Priske scored twice as Birmingham bounced back from their defeat at Cardiff to win 3-1 at Lincoln, moving temporarily into second place in the Championship. The Dane struck either side of half-time, and Alex Cochrane sealed the victory after Lincoln substitute Tom Bayliss had reduced the deficit. Birmingham took the lead in the 16th minute when a pass by Yunus Konak deflected into his own goal, leaving Priske on the edge of the box to turn and fire a low shot into the bottom corner. Elsewhere in the division, Norwich came from two goals down to draw with Watford, while Preston remain bottom after losing at Stoke.

Why it mattersPriske's brace moved Birmingham into second, though they sit 7th overall, five points behind leaders Middlesbrough, and his four league goals make up a quarter of the club's 20.
