Carrasco, Gaitan and Fonte endure miserable CSL debuts
The high-profile trio all made surprise moves to the club recently but endured a torrid start to life in China as their Oscar-inspired opponents ran riot.
The former Chelsea midfielder netted a hat-trick to start his season in style, with Wu Lei also scoring a treble.
Oscar’s compatriot Hulk and Lu Wenjun were also on target in the resounding victory at the Shanghai Stadium.
Fonte joined the China League One champions from West Ham, while Carrasco and Gaitan both joined from Atletico Madrid.
.@CarrascoY21 and @nicogaitan will join Dalian Yifang on a permanent deal.
Best of luck in China!https://t.co/M9mmraDNKMhttps://t.co/PVytuVRpcp pic.twitter.com/cWOCoGzY8s— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) February 26, 2018
