Balotelli ends goal drought

Cape Town - After netting just his second goal since joining the Reds, Mario Balotelli tweeted his relief at finally finding the back of the net.

Liverpool fans have seen little in Balotelli's performances this season to convince them he could ride to the rescue when the chips were down but he came off the bench to prod home a crucial equaliser at Anfield with four minutes remaining after Marvin Emnes had put Swansea ahead during their League Cup clash on Tuesday.

A dramatic finale saw Swansea's Federico Fernandez sent off for a late tackle and Dejan Lovren head home the winner after four minutes of stoppage time.

Balotelli, who sealed a £16 million transfer from AC Milan in August, took to Twitter to express his relief:

Finally! ??
