Liverpool academy graduate Owen Beck scored his first goal for Wales Under-21s on Friday.

The 19-year-old has come through the ranks at Liverpool and penned a new long-term contract at Anfield in July.

Beck, the great-nephew of Liverpool legend Ian Rush, made his Reds competitive senior debut in October’s Carabao Cup win over Preston.

The left-back also broke into the Wales U21 setup this year, making his debut in September.

On Friday, Beck earned his fourth cap for the young Dragons and opened the scoring in a 7-0 win over Gibraltar’s U21s in European Championship qualifying.

The Liverpool gem drove forward from left-back and played a one-two with Luke Jephcott before slotting home.

The Wales national team’s Twitter account shared Beck’s goal, deeming it “like a knife through butter”:

And some fans commented on the Liverpool prodigy’s effort:

Joe Adams scored a brace, while Jephcott, Dan Williams, Terry Taylor and Ryan Astley also got on the scoresheet in the biggest win in the history of Wales U21s.
