CARLOS TEVEZ wasted no time in paying back his monstrous £615,000-a-week wages at Shanghai Shenhua, scoring after 35 minutes of his Chinese Super League debut.
The Argentine forward, 33, made the headlines when he swapped boyhood side Boca Juniors for the China in a money-spinning deal.
And after a horror debut - in the Asian Champions League play-off, losing 2-0 - Tevez more than made amends in the Chinese Super League curtain-raiser.

After Giovanni Moreno had got Shanghai Shenhua off to a flying start - with Tevez bagging the assist - the Chinese side were given a penalty in the 35th minute.
Tevez stepped up and coolly sent Jiangsu Suning's keeper the wrong way to mark his league debut with a goal.
Mao Jianqing added a third, before Tevez notched his second assist of the game, setting up Moreno once more as Shenhua - coached by Gus Poyet - thumped Jiangsu Suning 4-0.
The losing side on the day are the team Chelsea midfielder Ramires controversially left Stamford Bridge for - however he did no play on the day.
Fellow big-money earner Alex Teixeira had a day to forget, visibly frustrated with the thumping defeat, being sent off in the final minute of the game for a second bookable offence.
