Fan stops Balotelli from earning us a second red-card…

A Liverpool fan held Mario Balotelli back from doing something he might regret against Manchester United yesterday, with the striker potentially intent on having quite a serious word with Chris Smalling…

Despite a pretty intense stare, Balotelli left Smalling alone, and avoided collecting a likely second yellow.

The Italian stayed on the pitch, but unfortunately couldn’t grab us a late equaliser, as the team lost 2-1 at Anfield.

The striker took to his Facebook page today with the following message, praising the Liverpool supporters at Anfield.

‘But one thing was real clear: I wasn’t alone on the pitch. YNWA,’ said Mario.
