Mario Balotelli completed a whirlwind 24 hours by scoring on his AC Milan debut.
The Italian striker, who joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City in a £20m move on Wednesday, was on target in a friendly against Serie D side Darfo Boario.
Off and running: Mario Balotelli scored in his first appearance in a Milan shirt
Balotelli dummied the goalkeeper before rolling the ball into an empty net. He also set up two others - one more than he managed in his entire Man City career - in the 10-0 victory.
Fellow first-team squad players Bojan Krkic, Robinho and Mbaye Niangat also played in the game at the Milanello training ground on Thursday.
But the 22-year-old will face a much stiffer test if he makes his first league start against Udinese on Sunday.
New boy: Balotelli was in action just 24 hours after signing from Man City
The goal capped a memorable couple of days for a player known for his explosive temperament, who saw actual fireworks on his first evening as an AC Milan player.
The striker, just off the plane to complete a £20m move from Manchester City, had hoped for a quiet meal with club vice-president Adriano Galliani to help him settle in.
But Milan's fans had other ideas. Hundreds of Ultras set off fireworks and flares outside Milan's Giannino Restaurant where he had been set to dine with the club's hierarchy.
And video footage showed Balotelli, wearing an orange cap, jumping up and down right in the thick of it.
The celebrations ended in a fight between fans and police when tear gas was fired to disperse the noisy crowd. Bottles were thrown and a policeman was taken to hospital after being struck on the head.
The Italian sports journalist Tancredi Palmeri tweeted about the clashes. 'Police charging several hundreds of Milan fans outside restaurant where Balotelli was, need to use teargas,' he wrote.
