After Man City's 3-2 victory in their Premier League opener against Southampton, striker Mario Balotelli joked with the team's official photographer Sharon Latham by stealing the lens hood from her camera.
It happened in the tunnel as Balotelli was on his way to the locker room after the game. After Latham took a few quick snaps of Balotelli, he tried to take the camera, but Latham held on to it. Balotelli then tried to take the flash, but when that didn't come off easily, he had to settle for the lens hood as he pulled it off the camera and quickly turned the corner through the doors to the dressing room.
Latham didn't seem too upset, and we would imagine Balotelli probably gave it back later.
