News about Lewis Baker

JOE BERNSTEIN OF THE BET365 STADIUM: After a finishing masterclass dug Brighton out of a difficult situation, Joao Pedro has to be considered for signing of the season. The 22-year-old Brazilian international cost The Seagulls £30 million from Watford, less than half of what Manchester United paid for Rasmus Hojlund. After Championship Stoke had taken the lead and were already threatening an upset at 2-2 with 20 minutes remaining, Matt's match-winning double pushed his goal total to 15 goals on Saturday.

On Thursday, Chelsea youth star Izzy Brown revealed that he would not return to football after struggling to recover from two surgeries to repair a ruptured Achilles. The attacking midfielder won the FA Youth Cup on two occasions with the Blues, but only made one team appearance for the club during seven loan spells. Brown was once predicted by Jose Mourinho as a lock to play for England, alongside Dominic Solanke and Lewis Baker, but the media should'blame him' if they didn't make it.

Izzy Brown, who was once tipped for England by Jose Mourinho, has been forced to leave professional football at the age of 26. Chelsea's attacking midfielder spent eight years on the books but made only one first-team appearance in the midst of seven loan spells. Chelsea manager Mourinho tipped 17-year-old Brown, Dominic Solanke, and Lewis Baker, as future England internationals in 2014, and told the world to 'blame him' if they didn't make it.

The FA Cup is back this week for its much-anticipated midweek round of games, but we should at least get excited about the lower-league appearances. Seven football League clubs make up the fifth round, and while just one game is an all-EFL match, don't bet against a few surprises. So from Harry Haddock inflatables to the 'Guernsey Grealish', here we give you the lowdown on each Football League club out to record a giant-killing…

Another weekend of action packed with action in the FA Cup fourth round. There were contentious VAR decisions, goals were delayed, debuts were taken out, and some unexpected findings. However, with just one fourth-round match between Derby County and West Ham remaining, Sportsmail has compiled a list of seven things we've learned from the memorable and entertaining weekend of FA Cup fixtures.

ADAM SHERGOLD AT THE BET365 STADIUM: This was one FA Cup miracle far enough for Stevenage, but the conquerors of Aston Villa may have a rousing conclusion. Stoke had been on the offensive team, but there was a strong sense that the League Two underdogs could have caused more mischief when Jamie Reid burst through to cancel out Jacob Brown's early goal. Steve Evans and his naughty crew weren't expected to be here this time. When Josh Laurent's screamer resurrects the Championship team's lead, Lewis Baker makes sure with a penalty, the celebrations in the away end had barely ended.

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP: Sheffield United's League chiefs dominated the final seconds at Swansea after some brilliant substitutions by manager Paul Heckingbottom. The game was supposed to end goalless, but two of the players were sent by the Blades manager in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time to win by 1-0 in Wales. Rhian Brewster, a former Swansea loanee, displayed a tenacious pace and a slew of legs to brush past Kyle Naughton before he teed up compatriot Reda Khadra, who slotted home to ignite major celebrations and ensure that the team will stay at the summit after Wednesday's fixtures.

Alex Neil may take several days to pick the bones out of a chaotic opening night as Stoke City's boss. They didn't let it go late, but Tyrese Campbell snagged a point from Aden Flint's header in 90 minutes, just as it looked as if defeat was inevitable. Joel Piroe's sixth-minute goal for the visitors had started to look as if it would be enough to decide the game, but 1-0 would have been an unjust scoreline.
