Claudio Bravo’s performance in Saturday’s Manchester derby wasn’t all that convincing.
Despite his Manchester City dominating the majority of the first half at Old Trafford and establishing a two goal lead in the process, the Chilean flapped at a cross before half-time, which allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to pull a goal back for Manchester United.
“Joe Hart will be smiling in Turin,” remarked Gary Neville during Sky’s commentary.
Despite being City’s first choice goalkeeper for the best part of a decade, Pep Guardiola decided over the summer that Hart would not continue as the club’s number one. A season long loan deal with Torino was agreed, and a day after Bravo’s error in the derby, Hart marked his bow for the Serie A club in their match against Atalanta with his own blunder.
With Torino taking a lead in Bergamo, it was Hart who was at fault for the Atalanta equaliser.
The England international failed to deal with an Atalanta corner, and after getting a hand to the ball, Andrea Masiello knocked the ball in.
