Lewis Baker underling his disappointment on Instagram at Tuesday night’s loss to League One side Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium, despite scoring his first goal for Leeds United.

Oxford United went into the break 3-0 up against a Leeds side that boasted a mix of fringe first-team players and Under-23 stars, including the likes of Will Huffer, Sam Dalby and Jack Clarke.

A James Henry brace and a goal from Rob Hall gave Oxford a huge lead at the break, but Leeds came roaring back in the second half. Tyler Roberts scored an excellent goal, before Baker got his goal after good work from Jamie Shackleton.

Clarke also got his name on the scoresheet but Jonathan Obika’s goal proved enough and Baker was disappointed with the loss but did state that he was delighted to get off and running in front of goal.

Baker, 23, is in contention to start in Marcelo Bielsa’s first Championship game in charge as Leeds welcome relegated Stoke City to Elland Road on August 5.

The Chelsea midfielder will continue looking to showcase his talents with Leeds next in action against feeder club Guiseley before facing La Liga outfit Las Palmas.
