REVEALED: Liverpool striker Balotelli swapped shirts with Hull player

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli swapped shirts with a Hull City player after yesterday's 0-0 draw.

Tigers boss Steve Bruce praised Balotelli for having the decency to accept a request to swap shirts with one of his players, despite the furore of Wednesday night's Champions League incident with Real Madrid defender Pepe.

"It is a shame for him. He is the whipping boy," Bruce said. "But even then he was good-spirited enough to swap shirts. So, one of them have got it, but he did it out of the road of the cameras this time."
