Atalanta 2:1 Torino
Ousted Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart made a similar error to his successor Claudio Bravo in his first game for Italian team Torino today to gift Atalanta an equalizer just a minute after Torino went ahead. The 29 year old Englishman later couldn't keep out a penalty as his Italian adventure started with defeat.
Hart display overall was confident and relaxed as he did his job between the sticks efficiently and when Torino went ahead via Iago Falque's superb second half free kick, it seemed like all was going according to plan for the first choice England goalkeeper.
But all that changed just a minute later when Hart failed to fully clear a corner, instead punching the ball towards Andrea Masiello who simply swept home the equalizer from close range.
With eight minutes left on the clock, in the words of Jon Champion, the comeback was completed as Lorenzo De Silvestri conceded a penalty which Franck Kessie made no mistake with sending Joe Hart the wrong way.
Well, i sincerely hope this is not a sign of things to come.
