Eto’o ‘exceptional’ as Toffees sink Clarets

Burnley 1 Everton 3

So that was left to everyone else to do after Samuel Eto’o lit up Turf Moor with a virtuoso display book-ended by two goals which continued the Clarets’ winless start to the season.

The 33-year-old started only his second Premier League game for the Merseysiders — three days after playing in France, as Everton drew with Lille in the Europa League — and after scoring the first goal with a classic striker’s header, guaranteed the victory with a sumptuous curling shot four minutes from the end.
