The duo teamed up in midfield as Leeds beat their Yorkshire neighbours 4-3.

Leeds United midfielders Matuesz Klich and Lewis Baker combined on Thursday night to help Marcelo Bielsa’s side earn a narrow 4-3 win over non-league outfit Guiseley – and the duo posted on Instagram after the match.

The duo combined in the middle of the park for the second time in pre-season, after helping Leeds draw 1-1 against York City last week.

National League North side Guiseley shocked their Championship opponents by going 2-0 up, before Poland international Klich scored his first goal in Leeds colours with a vicious effort from the edge of the box.

Impressive academy product Jack Clarke got his second in two games with a tidy finish, before Ryan Edmondson scored his first senior Leeds goal just four minutes later. He doubled his tally in the 71st minute to make it 4-2.

One of Guiseley’s trialist scored to make it an interesting finish, but Leeds held on to record their second pre-season win following a 2-1 victory over Forest Green. Klich reacted after scoring his first goal, while Baker praised the fans.

A handful of first-team stars featured, including goalkeeper Jamal Blackman, Laurens De Bock, Ronaldo Vieira and Tyler Roberts as well as the midfield duo. Yosuke Ideguchi was left on the bench.

Klich looks to be having more involvement with the first-team throughout pre-season than he did during the 2017-18 campaign, which ultimately saw him loaned out to FC Utrecht.

Leeds have just one more pre-season fixture to play before they get their Championship season underway against Stoke City on August 5, as they welcome Spanish side Las Palmas to Elland Road on Sunday.
