Liverpool star Mario Balotelli play fights with friend on train journey

Mario Balotelli appears to be in high spirits after opening his Premier League goalscoring account with Liverpool last week.

The controversial Italian striker uploaded a video onto Instagram of himself play fighting with a friend while on a train journey.

Both Balotelli and his companion wore a boxing glove each and pretended to box while another friend filmed the giggling pair on the train.

Alongside the video, Balotelli wrote: "We travel like this!"

The 24-year-old scored his first league goal with the Reds in last Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.
