Ex-Chelsea man marks 100th-Stoke appearance with outrageous halfway-line goal
Former Chelsea academy star Lewis Baker celebrated his 100th appearance for Stoke City by scoring a goal of the season contender on Saturday.

With Stoke winning 2-1 in injury time against Swansea City at the Bet365 Stadium, Baker picked up the ball near the centre circle.

The 29-year-old spotted Swansea goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux way off his line and decided to test his luck from over 65 yards out.

The ball curved to the right as Vigouroux backpedalled before it ended up in the back of the net.

It was Baker's 100th appearance for the Potters and his 300th senior appearance overall.

Baker joined Chelsea's academy setup as a nine-year-old in 2005, and spent eight years there as a professional.

The former England U-21 midfielder eventually left permanently in 2022, joining Stoke on a free transfer.
