Rival fans vote Mario Balotelli as club's player of the year

Rivals fans online has hijacked the voting of Liverpool's player of the year by voting for an obvious wrong candidate, Mario Balotelli.

The Italian striker has been below par since his move from AC Milan during last year's summer transfer window.

With just one league goal this season, the controversial striker is no way near the favourites for the Liverpool player of the year as  Philippe Coutinho,Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson have all had a good season.

But Arsenal and Manchester United fans in an attempt to ridicule Liverpool fans have hijacked the online poll on the Liverpool official website by voting for Mario Balotelli.

"Just voted for Balotelli as Liverpool's player of the season! #LFC #VoteBalotelli,'"  tweeted a United fan @JustRedDevils.

"U do no tht u can do this multiple times by using fake emails Ive done it 20 times so far," an Arsenal fan replied.

Liverpool are looking to offload the striker this summer with Sampdoriaundefinedto the Serie A.
