The Reds youngster was the victim of a shocking attack from Preston striker Milutin Osmajic while playing for Blackburn in Sunday's Lancashire derby - but reacted in a positive manner

Owen Beck was in the centre of a wild moment during Blackburn’s goalless draw at Preston, being bitten on the neck and then shown a straight red card. The 22-year-old, who is on loan from Liverpool, kicked out at Preston’s Duane Holmes, leaving the American on the floor.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Liverpool loanee Owen Beck was sent off for Blackburn after being bitten by Preston’s Milutin Osmajic in their 0-0 draw. It sounds unusual, but as Liverpool fans know, it is very much plausible for a player to be bitten on a football pitch.
