Baker pulled on the Leeds jersey for the first time since completing a loan move from Chelsea.
Lewis Baker posted on Instagram after pulling on the Leeds United shirt for the first time since completing a season-long loan move from Chelsea – as Marcelo Bielsa’s side drew 1-1 with York City.
Baker, 23, has opted to join the Yorkshire outfit on loan until the end of the season, in what was Bielsa’s first signing as manager of the Whites. He has since been joined by Chelsea teammater Jamal Blackman.
The playmaker started the game and saw out the entire 90 minutes, performing to a decent standard and always looking to create something out of nothing. Perhaps his best moment came when his free-kick was well saved in the first half.
Baker posted on Instagram after making his first Leeds appearance, though non-competitive against local rivals York, stating that he was delighted to “get the cobwebs off”.
Leeds went behind in the first half, as Bielsa combined Baker, Yosuke Ideguchi, Mateusz Klich, Ronaldo Vieira and Laurens De Bock with youngsters Kamil Miazek, Jamie Shackleton, Tom Pearce, Jordan Stevens and Ryan Edmondson.
Substitute Sam Dalby finally equalised in the second half, as Bielsa moved Klich from centre-back to central midfield and it saw the playmaker strike the crossbar, before Dalby tapped in.
Leeds are next in action against Kemar Roofe’s former side Oxford United on Tuesday night, before facing feeder club Guiseley and La Liga outfit Las Palmas.
