Liverpool U23 coach Barry Lewtas was delighted to see Owen Beck perform for the first-team in preseason.

The 19-year-old left-back made two appearances in the friendlies against Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna at Anfield last week.

"It's been a fantastic pre-season for us with so many young players getting a chance to be with the first team and Owen fits into that," U23s boss Lewtas told the club's website.

"It's not just the opportunity and the exposure he has had, I think he has performed really well.

"When he's been given the opportunity he has stepped up. I think he's shown a real youthful exuberance when he's played.

"He's got forward, he's put crosses in and he claimed an assist in a friendly, so fair play to him.

"Owen has made some good tackles, he's blocked crosses and I think he's gone about his work really well, so fair play to Owen."
