MARIO BALOTELLI looks back to his best at Marseille after capping a stunning goal with a zany celebration.
The Italian striker, 28, notched his third strike since arriving from Ligue 1 rivals Nice in January as he spectacularly volleyed home a corner.
Mario Balotelli used a phone to take a selfie after scoring for Marseille
The video was quickly uploaded to the Italian's Instagram story
And he then ran behind the goal to grab a phone off a photographer before taking a selfie with his team-mates.
Balotelli's video even made it onto his Instagram story while the game against was still being played.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool star's strike came in the 12th minute and ex-Newcastle ace Florian Thauvin added a second soon later.
Outspoken Balotteli missed out on a move away from Nice last summer and fell out with boss Patrick Vieira as his form slumped.
But after securing his exit on January 25, he has fired four goals in six games.
Fallen giants Marseille are sixth in the table, two points ahead of today's opponents at the start of play.
But with Balotelli back firing, they will hope to close the gap to leaders Paris Saint-Germain and then push on next season.
Their new hitman had gone 10 league games without scoring this season before making his move.
