Owen Beck made an impressive debut for Blackburn Rovers during a weekend that saw five Liverpool players appear for their loan clubs.

The left-back, who sealed a season-long switch to Ewood Park last Tuesday, was inserted into the starting XI for Rovers' East Lancashire derby away at Burnley in the Championship.

Beck played all of the contest at Turf Moor that ended 1-1 and saw Blackburn play the final 33 minutes with 10 men after the dismissal of Makhtar Gueye.

On Beck's performance, Rovers head coach John Eustace said: "You probably couldn't have picked a better game for him to come into. He didn't have time to think about it, a big local derby, and I thought he was great.

"He's a really good talent and one we're very happy to have."

Elsewhere in the Championship on Saturday, Lewis Koumas was a starter for Stoke City and appeared for 74 minutes in their 1-0 win at Plymouth Argyle.

A division below, Luke Chambers started Wigan Athletic's last-gasp 2-1 loss at Birmingham City.

Rhys Williams was handed a starting berth in Morecambe's home defeat by Newport County in League Two.

And north of the border on Sunday, Luca Stephenson's Dundee United registered a 1-0 victory away at Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, with the 20-year-old playing all of it.

Marcelo Pitaluga, Calum Scanlon and Fabian Mrozek were unused substitutes.
