Sinisa Mihajlovic refused to blame Joe Hart for the mistake on his debut which allowed Atalanta back into the game as they came from behind to beat Torino.

Former Spurs striker Iago Falque had fired the visitors ahead with a free-kick but Hart failed to claim a corner and Andrea Masiello equalised.

Franck Kessie won it with a late penalty, sending Hart the wrong way.

Joe Hart made his first start for new club Torino and was at fault for Atalanta's equaliser

'I am not angry with Hart,' said Mihajlovic. 'It was personal mistake and this is normal during a match. He did not deal with the corner that well but this is football. No problem.

'He still had a good match and he made a good save in the first half.

'In general, I am angry when the team don't listen to my tactics. I know - I was a player – that individual errors happen.'

Torino's players offered Hart support after the game.

'For me, he was not responsible for the goal,' said Falque. 'It was a long-play, in the second part of the area.

'He played a good game. He played many balls with his feet which were good and made a good save from Kessie in the first-half.'

Falque backed the England goalkeeper to bounce back during his year on loan in Serie A.

'For any English player to come to Italy is a good a way to improve his mentality. Joe was very confident and excited by this experience. In training he has been working very hard.'

Mihajlovic was sent from the touchline in the first-half after a bust-up with the referee and replaced by his assistant Attilio Lombardo, who worked for three years at Manchester City as part of Roberto Mancini's coaching team.

'When the club asked me about Joe Hart I told them he was a good goalkeeper, but they choose Joe Hart and not me,' said Lombardo. 'I was surprised he was available because Hart plays for Manchester City for a long time.

'But in my opinion this will be good experience for him. To play in Italy, it is difficult league with different football. It is also different because in England many teams can win the league but here there is only Juventus.

'I am helping him learn Italian quickly and he is having to learn quickly to communicate with his defence.

Former Tottenham striker Iago Falque also backed the England international to come good

'This was a positive games for him. He was good with his feet, and he did well when he hit the long passes.

'He played well. Maybe the first goal when the ball is in the air, he didn't catch the ball but the ball was at the other side of the goal, at back-post.
