LOAN WATCH: Chelsea pair Baker, Nathan see Vitesse back to winning ways

Lewis Baker and Nathan were amongst the goals as Vitesse Arnhem beat PEC Zwolle 3-1 on Saturday.

The Chelsea loan duo netted the opening and closing goals at the GelreDome as Vitesse snapped a six-game winless run in the Eredivisie.

Baker converted from the penalty spot on 32 minutes for his seventh league goal, and ninth in all competitions this season.

Zhang Yuning gave Vitesse a two-goal lead four minutes before the break but Bart Schenkeveld had Zwolle back in the contest with a little over 20 minutes remaining.

However, Brazilian Nathan wrapped up proceedings in injury-time prior to revealing a ForcaChape shirt in memory of the victims of the Chapecoense tragedy last week.

Vitesse now sit eighth on the Dutch top flight with 20 points from 15 matches, some 16 behind leaders Feyenoord and Ajax.
