Lasse Sorensen scored a goal of the season contender as in-form Lincoln City stretched their unbeaten League One run to nine matches by beating Shrewsbury Town.
The Danish full-back found the top corner from the right touchline from a long-range penalty rebound - to add to earlier efforts from Teddy Bishop and Reeco Hackett as the Imps won emphatically.
Chey Dunkley poked an early effort wide for Shrewsbury, who did not manage a single effort on target until Taylor Perry in the 70th minute.
But the Imps got the sixth-minute opener when Joe Taylor's shot was blocked, the rebound fell to Hackett whose effort was then kept out, only for Bishop to fire into the bottom corner.
Bishop curled a 20-yard free-kick just over and then Hackett missed a golden chance to double City's lead nine minutes into the second half, drilling wide when put through by Ethan Erhahon.
But Hackett made amends just four minutes later, smashing a left-footed shot into the top corner following Taylor's delightful back-heeled pass.
Both Hackett and Taylor were then thwarted by Town keeper Harry Burgoyne before Sorensen drove into the side-netting as City went for the jugular.
A third inevitably came after 67 minutes when the hosts won a penalty after House was felled by Burgoyne.
Bishop struck the post from the spot, the ball rebounded out to Sorensen on the right wing - and the Dane instinctively let fly, arcing it into the top left corner.
