Chelsea owes a debt of gratitude to Samuel Eto’o as the Cameroonian international secured three crucial points for the Blues in their encounter against Liverpool (2-1) on Sunday. Particularly noteworthy was his goal in the 42nd minute, a pivotal contribution allowing Mourinho’s men to hold their place on the Premier League podium.
Earlier in the match, Liverpool took the lead with an early strike from Skrtel. However, Eden Hazard, eventually named the man of the match, swiftly equalized for Chelsea. The turning point came when Samuel Eto’o, displaying his striker’s instinct, deflected Oscar’s cross into Mignolet’s net with his foot.
This victory is even more significant for Eto’o, who had gone five matches without scoring in the Premier League. His goal not only secured the win but also showcased his ability to make a decisive impact when it matters most.
