Chelsea youngster Wallace records assist as Carpi concede FIVE in 23 minutes

Chelsea's on-loan full-back Wallace recorded an assist from the substitutes bench for Carpi at the weekend, but the Italian side's first ever top flight match didn't exactly go to plan, as they went down 5-2 to Sampdoria.

Eder's opener in the 14th minute was the first of five Sampdoria goals in the space of 23 minutes, giving the new boys a tough initiation to life in Serie A.

Brazilian speedster Wallace came on with 20 minutes remaining, and was able to lay on an assist for countryman Ryder Matos to score late in the game after Andrea Lazzari had reduced the deficit to four goals in the 38th minute.
