Mario Balotelli made a fine start to his second stint at AC Milan by scoring in the 3-2 friendly win over Mantova on Thursday.
The Liverpool loanee, who also assisted the other two goals for Sinisa Mihajlovic's side, gave Milan the lead on three minutes with a superb curling effort into the top corner from 25 yards.
Lega Pro side Mantova went 2-1 up before the 25-year-old, who was not selected for Italy's European Qualifiers against Malta and Bulgaria, fed Andrea Poli for 2-2.
Balotelli was then brought down for a penalty, converted by Luiz Adriano, to complete an impressive performance.
He later posted a video of his goal on his Facebook page, saying: "Feeling great!"
Balotelli joined Milan on a season-long loan from Liverpool last week, after scoring just once in 16 Premier League appearances at Anfield.
The former Inter man was an unused substitute in Milan's 2-1 Serie A win over Empoli on Saturday.
