Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was asked about Mario Balotelli's blow-up with Aleksandar Kolarov during their 3-3 draw with Sunderland.
Balotelli appeared to argue with Kolarov over who should line up a free-kick with Carlos Tevez.
Mancini said: "On the ball it should be Mario and Ali - after they decide who shoots.
"But it can happen in a moment like today, things like this. It is the last time."
