Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil was delighted with victory at Celta Vigo.
The 4-1 rout saw La Real return to the top of the table.
Imanol said, "What we have done is go out to win the game, as if it were a final, as we always do. We had a great team in front of us, with a great coach, with quality players and the team has done an enormous job to win.
"The entire squad is working phenomenally, everyone who plays is doing very well, and I'm very happy."
Asked if they're a title contender, the coach added: "This team is a candidate to fight the next game, which is AZ. There is no more, it is what it is. Then Granada will come, another great rival in a great moment. We cannot get lost, because we know how even it is in LaLiga. We are where we are on our own merits, I think we should even be with more points and goals. We have a huge ambition, but this is not easy."
