Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he was unaware of Mario Balotelli throwing a wobbler after being sent-off in the draw with Liverpool.

There were claims after the match that Balotelli had damaged the door of the visitors' dressing room but Mancini denied any knowledge.

"I don't know this. If he damaged the door he pays - like his house," said the Italian, referring to the recent fire after a firework was let off at Balotelli's home.
