Baker saves two penalties

Matt Baker has impressed his new team with two crucial penalty saves in the Isle of Man Tournament.

The goal-keeper rose to the occasion when Wrexham needed him most against Conference side, Carlisle United. He made crucial saves in the shoot-out showdown after the two sides were on 3-3. 

Baker made the first of his two penalty saves by keeping out Chris Billy's effort. Next Danny Williams put Wrexham 4-3 ahead and then Baker saved a kick from Karl Hawley, another player who has been at Edgar Street,  to give his side victory.

The ex-Hereford United stopper told the Wrexham Leader: "Yeah, obviously I was pleased with my performance. There was a lot of pressure on me. The pitch didn't help, but I'm glad I kept them out and we won. It was a nice feeling."
