Substitute Iyseden Christie scored one minute into time added-on to knock out Coca-Cola League Two side Lincoln City 2-1 at Sincil Bank.
Craig Westcarr had cancelled out John-Lewis' opener for the Imps before Christie hit the headlines to send Poppies supporters wild.
The hosts had dominated the early stages as Stefan Oakes' cross-cum-shot landed on the crossbar before Chris Beardsley headed wide at the other end.
