Calm down lads…we’ve all had a few!

The Italian front man made sure he took the honours, but not after falling out with teammates Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson in the process.
The trio argued in front of a packed Anfield, and inevitably it brought out the best (and worst) of people on Twitter.
Below is a selection of the best tweets following the bizarre exchange.
Hendo is lucky to be on 80 yard free kicks don't mind penalties as well

Let's not get it twisted, @FinallyMario is the man who scores Pens. Hendo not known for finishing. We won 1-0. Good result. Goodnight. #LFC

I reckon Balotelli turned off Phil Collins on the dressing room playlist.

Love that shake of the head from Henderson after breaking up the Balotelli/Sturridge debacle. Had look of "I'm dealing with children" #LFC

Sturridge lost a few friends today..& his ego probably took a bit of a beating too.. Sakho like Balotelli handled in a roughshod manner #LFC

The good thing is Balotelli doesn't even need to be told that he is the next after Stevie!!! The lad walked up took the ball and finished it
