Mario Balotelli scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool to earn the Reds a 3-2 win over Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday.Balotelli has endured a tough first season at Anfield, but picked an ideal moment to break his top-flight duck for the club with a well-taken late winner shortly after coming off the bench for Daniel Sturridge - who made his first Liverpool start since their 3-0 victory at Spurs in August.
Despite lacking match sharpness, Sturridge was dangerous throughout his 74 minutes on the pitch and was heavily involved in Liverpool's first two goals.

The England striker showcased strong hold up play to help set up Lazar Markovic for Liverpool's 15th-minute opener, which was quickly cancelled out by red-hot Spurs frontman Harry Kane.
Steven Gerrard restored Liverpool's advantage from the penalty spot eight minutes after half-time after Sturridge had gone down under an ill-advised challenge from Danny Rose.Again Tottenham replied, though, as Moussa Dembele's close-range leveller just after the hour was allowed to stand despite Kane appearing to have strayed offside from Christian Eriksen's free-kick.
But there was one final twist in the tale as substitute Balotelli popped up seven minutes from time to smash home a low cross from fellow substitute Adam Lallana.The win lifts Liverpool to within a point of Tottenham and just three points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal.
Liverpool's early pressure paid off as Markovic made the most of good hold-up play from Sturridge to find the bottom-right corner with a scuffed strike from the edge of the area.
But for all Liverpool's early dominance they were pegged back 11 minutes later as Kane continued his fine run of form.
Erik Lamela's pass squeaked through the Liverpool defence and into the path of the striker, who restored parity with a low shot under the legs of Simon Mignolet.
Tottenham struggled to build on that equaliser, and only the woodwork kept them on level terms as Sturridge struck the post with a clever back-heeled effort following brilliant work down the right from Jordon Ibe.
Liverpool remained in the ascendancy after the break and were duly rewarded when Gerrard converted from the spot.
