Manchester City star Mario Balotelli was in hot water with Mum this week.

Sport says Balo's Mum sent him out shopping with instructions to buy an ironing board, an iron and some cleaning products for the home.

However, after five hours around the shops, Balo returned home with ... several children's games, Scalextric cars, a giant trampoline, two Vespa scooters and a full game of ping-pong.

And, oh yeah, no sign of what Mum actually needed!
