Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has reportedly been involved in another bust-up, this time with teammate Yaya Toure.

The controversial Italian is believed to have angrily confronted the former Barcelona midfielder after facing criticism from the 28-year-old, which sparked a row that needed to be broken up by Toure's brother Kolo, according to the Daily Star.

The scuffle came following City's 3-3 draw with Sunderland on Saturday, in which Balotelli argued with Aleksandar Kolarov over who would take a free kick for the Premier League title challengers during the second half of the match.

Last week the former Inter Milan star was reportedly involved in a war of words with manager Roberto Mancini at the club's training ground at Carrington.
