Mario Balotelli celebrates last-gasp goal by taunting Besiktas manager Sergen Yalcin... EIGHT YEARS after he previously said the forward ‘had no brain’ following his infamous backheel miss for Manchester City against LA Galaxy

Mario Balotelli taunted Sergen Yalcin after scoring in Adana Demirspor's 3-3 draw Besiktas on Tuesday night.

The forward made a reference to a comment which Yalcin made back in 2013 after watching Balotelli play for Manchester City in a pre-season match against LA Galaxy.

The manager - who was working as a pundit at the time - said Balotelli had 'no brain' after he infamously tried to backheel a easy shot on goal and missed.

Yalcin also said that he would have 'fired' the forward if he was in 'manager Roberto Mancini's shoes' at the time.
