Liverpool's loan star Owen Beck was bitten shortly after a challenge that saw him receive a straight red card in a recent Championship game against Preston.

The on-loan Blackburn star suffered the unsavoury assault by Preston's Mulutin Osmajic, who has since been charged with violent conduct by the FA.

A video of the incident went viral online with many fans appalled at what happened to the Liverpool youngster.

Although Beck saw red for a challenge he made just before being bitten, Osmajic stayed on the pitch following the incident, leaving many supporters wound up.

Osmajic scores after admitting to bite

Osmajic admitted the offence and accepted the FA's charge of violent conduct for biting the Welsh defender.

Until a punishment is decided, Osmajic is still playing for Preston North End and scored twice in their 3-0 victory over Championship rivals Watford on Wednesday.

This has led to a number of supporters pointing out online just how unfair it is that Beck is still banned but that Osmajic has been allowed to carry on playing.

Some fans were confused by the whole scenario but others were left raging following the 25-year-old's brace.

Owen Beck's loan

Despite being sent off in his last game for Blackburn, the 22-year-old full-back has impressed during his stint in the Championship.

Beck received a call-up to the Welsh national team for their recent UEFA Nations League group games against Turkyie and ironically Osmajic's Montenegro, but he remained on the bench for both matches and is yet to make his national team debut.

Arne Slot and everyone at Liverpool will be watching Beck keenly to see how he bounces back for Blackburn once his suspension has been served.
