One Liverpool fan had to quickly backtrack on Twitter on Tuesday after he promised to eat his own poo if Mario Balotelli scored the winner against Tottenham – which the striker ended up doing.

Balotelli netted his first Premier League goal for the Reds since making his £16million switch from AC Milan last summer after he was brought on as a substitute in the 74th minute at Anfield and side-footed in Adam Lallana’s low cross shortly afterwards.

Even though Brendan Rodgers showed faith in the Italian by replacing Daniel Sturridge with him as the score stood at 2-2, it seems not all Reds fans were optimistic that Balotelli could help snatch three points – with one supporter threatening to eat his poo if the striker scored the winning goal.



Needless to say, when the Liverpool man did then net his team’s all-important winning goal in the 83rd minute, the fan in question realised just what lay in store for him before he backtracked and assured his followers he wouldn’t actually be carrying out his promise.
