AC Milan picked up three points on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Torino, which left the Rossoneri third in Serie A and with a four point advantage over Fiorentina.
Mario Balotelli was Milan’s matchwinner with a close range volley late in the second half, and after releasing the tension in the San Siro, Super Mario reacted by ripping off his jersey.
For better or worse, everyone knows that taking off a shirt whilst celebrating draws an instant booking, and so it was obvious that Balotelli would go into the notebook for his goal celebration.
However the manner of Balotelli’s booking was less predictable.
Rather than being served with a yellow card from the referee, Sulley Muntari stole the card out of the official’s hand, and it was the Milan player who flashed the card in Super Mario’s face.
