Hart debut error costs Torino against Atalanta

It was a Serie A debut to forget for Joe Hart, whose error allowed Atalanta a route back into the game as it defeated Torino.

Joe Hart endured a nightmare Torino debut as his error set Atalanta on its way to a 2-1 victory at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

The Manchester City loanee became the first English goalkeeper to appear in Serie A when he replaced former Liverpool man Daniele Padelli in the visitor's line-up, but his bow ended in disappointment as he dropped a set piece to allow the hosts to equalize.

Hart joined the Italian club last month after new City boss Pep Guardiola opted to sign Claudio Bravo and, although the Chilean was then culpable for a goal in Saturday's Manchester derby, his mistake was echoed here by his predecessor at the Etihad Stadium.
