There is usually two sides to any story, but in the case of Mario Balotelli, there only ever seems to be one. Ever since signing for Liverpool in the summer, the Italian striker has been derided in the media, for not having the same impact as Luis Suarez. But in a breathtaking game of non-stop attacking football and plenty of chances, it was Balotelli who kept his calm and scored the goal that moved the Reds to within a point off their opponents..

In a game that was dominated by two young English strikers, Balotelli’s winner meant that it was he who had the last laugh. It was a goal and a performance that highlighted what the Italian is all about. Although he was only on the pitch for 20 minutes, he chased down lost causes, brought out the bag of tricks and most importantly scored the goal that might just send the Reds on the right path in their pursuit of a Champions League.
