Balotelli Gets Sent Off For Two Yellow Cards Six Minutes After Scoring Late Winner To Put Nice On-Top Of The Table!

The former Liverpool flop smashed the ball into the top corner in the 86th minute to send his side to the top of the Ligue 1 table.
Balotelli cut inside from the left-side of the box and rifled home an effort from 18 yards to net his sixth goal in five matches for Nice.

But that happened to be the start of his downfall.
He was cautioned for taking his shirt off in the celebration of his strike and was given his marching orders just minutes later.
As the game edged into stoppage time, he was involved in an altercation with Lorient defender Steven Moreira, earning both men a yellow card.
Ultimately, it was a harsh decision and the fans appreciated the Italian’s efforts.
Balotelli was given a standing ovation by the Nice supporters as he trudged off to the sidelines.

Earlier in the match, Nice were given the lead by Ricardo, but they were pegged back by Benjamin Moukandjo’s effort on the hour mark.
Balotelli’s winner leaves Nice one point above of Monaco at the top of the standings and four ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.
