Sportsdesks up and down the UK and Ireland were undoubtedly a horrible place to be after Mario Balotelli's late, late winner for Liverpool last night.
Late goals so close to deadline will always create plenty of cursing, especially when they're scored by a man as divisive as Balotelli.

The battle of the headlines was undoubtedly won by the Liverpool Echo.
