VIDEO: Mario Balotelli scores 3 minutes into 2nd debut with AC Milan

AC Milan forward Mario Balotelli has had enough of the criticism, and knows full well there's one way to get the doubters to stop yapping: score goals.

The controversial Italian forward took no time at all to prove his critics wrong, scoring in the third minute of a friendly against Mantova on Thursday to give Milan a 1-0 lead. It was his second time debuting with Milan, having played with the Rossoneri in 2013.

On the goal, Balotelli sized up the goalkeeper and then cracked a 20-yard shot. The ball curled past the 'keeper's fingers, giving Milan a lead and Balotelli a goal to stoically celebrate.

Maybe he is a changed man after all.
