The Liverpool-owned striker might not be welcome in Preston any time soon.

Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster is catching a bit of stick on Twitter.

Brewster left the Reds to join Swansea City on a half-season loan last month and it’s been a good stint with the Championship side.

So far, the Liverpool gem has scored two goals in four league games for the Swans, but should he also have a red card on his record?

The 19-year-old scored the equaliser in Saturday’s 1-1 draw away to Preston North End, celebrating in front of the home fans.

He made the supporters far angrier on 55 minutes with what looked a late and dangerous challenge on Ben Pearson, though the referee only dished out a yellow card.

Here’s how some Preston supporters reacted to the Liverpool striker’s tackle:

Dodgy tackle aside, Brewster is a huge talent, evident by the fact Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said that he loves him last summer [The Independent].

The teenage hitman didn’t have a lot of senior football during the first half of the season, being stuck behind Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi in the pecking order.

But he is playing men’s football on a regular basis and it’ll be interesting to see how ready he is to seriously challenge Firmino and Origi next season when he returns.
