Balotelli strikes twice for Milan Mario Balotelli continued his hot form with a double in AC Milan's 2-0 home win over Palermo in Sunday's Serie A action.

Palermo sit bottom of the table and entered the fixture without a win in 15 matches, meaning they were rank underdogs at the San Siro.
And they were behind after just eight minutes when Balotelli gave his side the early lead from the penalty spot.
