Baker played the full 90 minutes as Rob Page's side recorded a 2-1 victory in their European Championship qualifier.

Bridgend-born Baker, who has played three times for the Owls this season, was deployed in a defensive midfield role. He worked tirelessly in the centre, making a number of good tackles and he kept things simple in possession.
