Joe Hart did his best Claudio Bravo impersonation Sunday on his Torino debut, whiffing on a corner that fell at the feet of Atalanta full-back Andrea Masiello, who calmly fired into a gaping net to level the score 1-1.

After Bravo's less-than-stellar bow in City's 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday, the internet christened the Chile international's first Premier League appearance while cheekily paying tribute to the on-loan Hart.

Bravo, who is five inches shorter than his shot-stopping counterpart, bottled an attempted catch on a Wayne Rooney free-kick, dropping the ball in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's path, only for the Swede to fire home a deft finish.

Despite the hesitant showing, City gaffer Pep Guardiola called Bravo's display "one of the best performances I've ever seen." Might want to have those eyes checked, Pep.
