After Joe Hart joined West Ham on a season-long loan, the two-time Premier League champion received quite the introduction from his former Manchester City colleague Pablo Zabaleta.
Taking part in training ahead of the 2017/18 season, where Hart will make his return to the Premier League after a year at Torino, Zabaleta was in no mood to go easy on his team-mate.
This is harsh, but what a goal.

The 32-year-old full-back was teed up before volleying superbly past the England goalkeeper, yelling: “Welcome to West Ham, my friend!”
It’s fair to say that fans of both Manchester City and West Ham appreciated the moment, with City fans missing him…
Gotta love zabba!! Please look after him

Some fans were a little concerned it wasn’t in Hart’s best interests to have a volley smashed past him at his new club.
What a way to build Hart's confidence great finish ?
