Eto'o much

Samuel Eto’o reacts furiously after a birthday cake is splattered on his face by his Antalyaspor teammates

Prank played on experienced striker backfires as they celebrated his 36th birthday at the club's training ground

SAMUEL ETO'O shook his head in disapproval and tried flicking cake off his face and body after Antalyaspor's birthday celebration backfired.

The former Chelsea striker looked to be in a good mood as he tucked into his celebratory cake but it all turned sour when he was covered in it by his teammates.

The retired Cameroon international initially sliced the cake and was then fed the piece by somebody at the training ground.

But as he munched on the cake he was swarmed by his teammates, who used their hands to grab clumps of the cake and chuck it all over the forward.

Then after telling his teammates he was not impressed, the experienced striker stormed off picking cake off of his face and body.

Eto'o joined the Turkish outfit in 2015 and was made interim player-manager for the team when former boss Yusuf Simsek was sacked in December 2015.

In his first season in Turkey he made 31 appearances for Antalyaspor, scoring 20 goals, helping the team to sixth-placed finish.

And this season the birthday boy has played 19 times and has netted nine times, with Antalyaspor currently in sixth.

Eto'o has recently been linked with a mega-money move to China's second tier, with their transfer window slamming shut at the end of the month.
