Reina ends Balotelli run!

Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina ended Mario Balotelli's streak of 21 successive penalties in Napoli's first league win over Milan at the San Siro in 27 years (2-1). A side led by Argentine legend Diego Maradona beat Milan in April 1986.
The visiting side started the game brightly and was soon ahead through Miguel Britos, with Gonzalo Higuain doubling the lead just after halftime.
Mario Balotelli squandered the chance to regain a foothold in the match, missing the first penalty of his career, though the Italy international scored a brilliant consolation strike at the death.
Milan won the penalty when Raul Albiol fouled Balotelli in the area, but the striker, perfect from the spot in his past 21 attempts for club and country, saw his effort stopped by Pepe Reina.
