Manchester City coach David Platt says there was no problem with Mario Balotelli's t-shirt celebration when scoring in victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Balotelli celebrated his goal by revealing a T-shirt bearing a message of love for his girlfriend Raffaella. It was a rather more modest offering than a previous one of 'Why Always Me?', referring to his notorious off-field antics earlier this season.

Platt said: "All players flash T-shirts nowadays. There are a lot of players that want to take their shirts off and show messages. I don't think it is a case of flamboyance."
