Liverpool midfielder, Steven Gerrard, has criticsed Mario Balotelli for his actions surrounding the penalty in last night’s game.
The Reds were drawing 0-0 with Besiktas in the Europa League but eventually won a penalty which Jordan Henderson was set to take, until Balotelli stepped in and demanded the ball.
The Italian eventually took the penalty and scored it giving the hosts a 1-0 lead going to Turkey, but after the game, Gerrard admitted that the striker was disrespectful.
Gerrard said: “Henderson is the captain and Balotelli showed Jordan a bit of disrespect there.”
