A smattering of "instant reactions" from journos on Twitter, starting with rag Ian Herbert from the "objective" Independent.
LOL.
Not so bad but the instant call for Balotelli's head.
Undeserved my arse.

An extraordinary injustice as balotelli pen sinks #thfc. Should not be on pitch. 3-2 #mcfc
LOL.

Great win for City and a terrific game but feel sorry for Spurs. They deserved at least a point

Find it hard to see how Balotelli can escape retrospective punishment for stamp on Parker. Parker very lucky not to be more badly injured

That's brutal on #thfc. Undeserved. Balotelli could have been sent off, could face FA charge tomo, gets/scores winning pen. Why always him?
Undeserved my arse.

FT: #MCFC 3 Spurs 2. Incredible 2nd half. City 2-0 up, Spurs draw level, Defoe misses great chance 91st min, Balotelli scores 95th-min pen

Whether Balotelli should have been on the pitch by then, after what looked like a stamp on Parker, is another matter

Well. Bugger me with a fishfork. Balotelli wins and converts last minute penalty. #mcfc 3-2 #thfc
