Well, Super Mario has finally scored, and it was a big goal.
Just when Liverpool vs Spurs looked to be fizzling out into a draw after 80 exciting minutes of action, the enigmatic Italian picked a fantastic time to hit the back of the net in the league for the first time, as he tapped home from close range.
Understandably, twitter exploded:
That long without a goal. No emotion. Not right

Best celebration of the season from Balotelli. You can't act that, you have to actually not care.
