Eto’o Does ‘Zidane’ Headbutt

Inter Milan’s crisis intensified on Sunday with a 2-1 defeat at Chievo where Samuel Eto’o committed a Zinedine Zidane-like headbutt that could result in a lengthy suspension. He beat Chievo’s Bostjan Cesar on 37th minute but was not even cautioned by the referee, Reuters reports.

The officials missed the first-half incident but Serie A is sure to look at video evidence and will almost certainly hand the Cameroon striker a lengthy ban, depriving Inter of their leading striker.

“What Eto’o did is not something good but he took a punch first and it was provocation. He lost a bit of control, that’s clear,” Inter’s head coach Rafa Benitez said.
