Samuel Eto'o: Chelsea can recover from Manchester City defeat

Former Cameroon and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has reacted to Chelsea's 6-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

On his visit to South Africa, the former Chelsea marksman admitted that Pep Guardiola's side plays a high pressing game, but added that he was amazed by how Maurizio Sarri's men conceded a whopping six goals in one game.

"You can lose matches sometimes, but at this level, you have to be very careful," Eto'o told the South African media.

"Conceding six goals! It is true that City are playing at an unbelievably high level at the moment, and we were not expecting anything less from a coach like Pep Guardiola, but those goals came through due to individual errors and a lack of concentration.
