Baker should 'take a bow', says delighted Robins

Stoke boss Mark Robins praised the vision of Lewis Baker after he scored from inside his own half to cap a 3-1 victory over Swansea City.

Baker provided a spectacular finish as the Potters put themselves six points clear of the Championship relegation places.

"It was a huge win. I think we had played really well, limited them to one shot on goal before we contrived to give them their first goal," said Robins.

"What transpired after that was nothing short of phenomenal. The fact that we have taken everything on board… We have got the ball in the box with quality, we have got ourselves into good positions and we have taken those chances.

"What happened after that was absolutely magic. I don't know if anybody here will have seen a goal like that [from Lewis Baker], or anywhere really. I think that's further than David Beckham's one.

"As soon it left his foot I looked at the goalkeeper and thought that's got a chance. It's absolutely outstanding – the vision to see it and to execute it. That's goal of the season for me. Lewis Baker, take a bow son."

Stoke are next in action away to Norwich City on 22 February.
