MARIO Balotelli snubbed Manchester City�s celebrations after their spectacular Premier League triumph last night. The Italian seemed sombre as he ventured out for a meal in the city with his brother Enoch and a pal instead. Clad in a flat cap, the striker kept his eyes to the ground as the trio headed to Italian eaterie San Carlo while his teammates and manager toasted his team's title win at the Hilton Hotel. His sibling Enoch looked in happier spirits, sporting an identical blonde Mohican hairdo to that of his bad boy bro. It�s not the first time Mario has refused to join in his club�s celebrations following a high-profile win. In May last year he infuriated City after snubbing their FA Cup parade. He also failed to turn up for the team�s end-of-season dinner where he was due to receive the Young Player of the Year award. However, his no-show at last night�s do clearly didn�t ruin the victorious occasion for his footie colleagues � who dramatically came from behind to beat QPR 3-2 in the dying minutes of yesterday�s match.
