and live on Freeview channel 276
With Blackpool leading 2-1 against the Imps on Saturday with seven minutes to go, Husband was dispossessed by Lincoln’s Brennan Johnson on the edge of his own box.
The 26-year-old desperately tried to recover but, in his attempt to win the ball back, he hauled the forward to the ground in the 18-yard box.

Hide AdHusband was subsequently shown a straight red card by the referee, who also pointed to the penalty spot.
The spot kick was converted by Jorge Grant, his second penalty of the game, before the Imps went on to claim the three points against the 10 men of Blackpool with an 88th-minute winner from Lewis Montsma.
The FA has confirmed Husband will now serve a one-match ban for denying an "obvious goalscoring opportunity".
The defender will now miss Blackpool's game against Ipswich Town next Saturday, a fixture brought forward from November.
