PHOTOS: The internet has fun with Mario Balotelli's 'levitation' meme
Liverpool dropped a second consecutive Premier League match this weekend, losing 3-1 against West Ham.
But with Mario Balotelli on the team, even losses can be fun. The striker played an integral role in Raheem Sterling's goal on the day, controlling a long pass and having his own shot blocked before jumping out of the way to allow the Englishman a clean look on goal.
The leap was caught in photo form:

In an ode to Jasper Cillessen, the hashtag "Balotelli Sits On Things" began making the rounds on social media.
These were just some of the results:
