Joe Hart's Torino career got off to a nightmare start on Sunday, when his mistake from a corner allowed Atalanta to grab a soft equaliser.
The England goalkeeper joined the Turin club on loan toward the end of the summer transfer window after losing his place in the Manchester City team, and he would have been looking to make a solid start to his time in Serie A.
But just a day after new City No. 1 Claudio Bravo flapped at a cross and conceded during his Premier League debut against Manchester United on Saturday, Hart committed a similar error to ruin an otherwise promising bow.
Atalanta went on to claim a 2-1 win courtesy of an 82nd minute penalty, capping off a disappointing afternoon for Torino and their new English goalkeeper.
Perhaps he was distracted by the teamsheet, which referred to him by another of his middle names:

Chin up, Joe. Or John. Or Charles.
