Mad Mario earns a place in City’s Hart

GOALKEEPER Joe Hart admits life can be frustrating with Mario Balotelli but he is convinced the striker now has his head “screwed on”.

Balotelli’s remarkable propensity to create headlines on and off the pitch continued over the weekend after a domestic firework incident was followed by a devastating two-goal display in a 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United.

The fire service were called to Balotelli’s Cheshire home in the early hours of Saturday morning after a firework set off from inside the bathroom started a blaze.
