Owen Beck, a Liverpool loanee playing for Blackburn Rovers, was sent off during a heated match against Preston North End after reportedly being bitten on the neck by Preston’s Milutin Osmajic. The incident occurred in the 89th minute of the goalless draw and sparked significant outrage, with Blackburn manager John Eustace stating that Beck had a noticeable bite mark and expressing disappointment over the referee's failure to see the incident. Eustace described the situation as serious and emphasized the anger within the team regarding the incident, hoping for appropriate disciplinary action against Osmajic. Despite Beck's red card for an earlier foul, the shocking nature of the bite has drawn considerable media attention and support for the young player. Preston's manager Paul Heckingbottom acknowledged the claims of biting and asserted that such behavior is unacceptable on the pitch. This incident echoes past controversies in football, such as Luis Suarez's infamous biting incidents.
