Balotelli accepts fine from Man City

Mario Balotelli has accepted a fine from Manchester City for breaking a club curfew last week.

The Italian striker was seen leaving a strip club less than 48 hours before he scored in the 2-0 win over Bolton on the weekend and the club has decided to discipline the player.

"I spoke with Mario and gave him a fine of one week's wages for what he did," manager Roberto Mancini said.

"This is normal because every player should have good behaviour before the game."
