Joe Hart has an Italian debut to forget

England goalkeeper concedes two goals in Torino’s 2-1 loss to Atalanta

Last updated:

Rome: Joe Hart’s Torino debut was a day to forget for the England goalkeeper.

Hart gifted Atalanta the equaliser and failed to stop a penalty in a 2-1 loss on Sunday.

The troubles began when Hart misjudged a corner, leapt late and only got a weak glove on the ball, which turned into an assist for Andrea Masiello waiting at the far post.

Torino had taken the lead two minutes earlier in the second half with a splendid free kick from Iago Falque.

Franck Kessie scored the winner eight minutes from the end, rolling in a penalty to the right corner as Hart went in the other direction.

On loan from Manchester City, Hart became the first English goalkeeper to play in Serie A since the league’s inception in 1929.
