Chris Maguire scores a hat-trick against Sunderland and celebrates in Lee Johnson's face

Lincoln City winger Chris Maguire enjoyed the last laugh over his former manager Lee Johnson, after he scored a hat-trick in their victory over Sunderland and then gleefully celebrated directly in front of the home side's dugout.

Maguire made 125 appearances at the Stadium of Light over his three-year spell, but was allowed to leave on a free transfer and clearly still harbours ill feeling over the decision, which came despite him being a first-team name.

To exact his revenge, he scored a superb opening goal against his old club, and made sure to make his way in front of the beleaguered Johnson in an act of defiance.
