Everton winger Coleman: Class act Eto'o so humble

Everton winger Seamus Coleman hailed Samuel Eto'o's performance for victory at Burnley.

The veteran striker's classy brace propelled the Toffees to ninth in the Premier league, just two points off the top five and secured consecutive wins for the first time so far this season.

Coleman enthused to the Liverpool Echo: "He's brilliant. There's so much you can say about Samuel Eto'o really. He's done it all. He's been brilliant with us - there's no ego or anything and he fits in great with all the lads.

"That second goal he scored is something we see in training all the time. The way he drops off, gets the ball and puts it in that corner. Unfortunately he was denied his hat-trick but it was a class display.

"His work-rate shows a great example. Hopefully the likes of Rom (Lukaku) and everyone can learn a lot from him. It can only be good for everyone at the club."
