Sampdoria coach Roberto D'Aversa has explained hooking Kristoffer Askildsen after just 12 minutes of being on the pitch in defeat to Torino.

Toro were comfortable 3-0 winners on the day, with Askildsen lasting just 12 minutes as a second-half substitute.

"You should just be glad I didn't thump him," D'Aversa stated.

“I see quality in him, but this was a signal to him and the others. You must honour the shirt and give your soul when you come off the bench."

He also said: “Torino went out there to get a result and we didn't.

“We conceded a goal on the counter-attack from our own corner, so that says it all. They did everything to get a win and we put in a horrible performance.

“You need a different attitude, it's the fourth time we have conceded in stoppages. We concede far too many goals and must all feel responsible for this. We didn't look like a team, we showed no determination."
