Mario Balotelli came off the bench with just under half an hour remaining in the Milan derby on Sunday evening.
Balotelli's AC Milan would lose the game 1-0 but the striker did impress many with his performance. He created numerous chances for his side once he entered the fray.

Gosh, it's good to see this Balotelli again. Bullying, direct, forceful. Milan - and Italy - can only hope it lasts.

Balotelli firing rockets at Inter's goal. Looks like a completely different player from the guy at Liverpool last season.
