Real Madrid striker Joselu: Victory over Alaves was deserved

Real Madrid striker Joselu was delighted scoring in victory over Getafe.

Real came from behind to win 2-1.

Joselu said: "We're justly deserving of the win. We did a very good job offensively and created a lot of chances, but Getafe made it difficult for us because they had a lot of people at the back. The Bernabéu was behind us and the fans were incredible. Madrid never give up and we picked up three golden points to go into the international break unbeaten.

"We came out with the same idea, looking to play in the opposition's half and put balls into the box because we have dangerous players up front capable of scoring goals. The players on the bench also contributed a lot. The team gave everything and it was an important victory. As for the goal, I was hoping they wouldn't disallow it. It's the greatest satisfaction for a striker and even more so when it helps the team to win."

On the stadium, Joselu also said: "It's amazing. It's unbelievable when it's empty and even more so when it's full of our fans. It's factor number 12 in achieving comebacks like today's. The stadium is impeccable, beautiful and the best in the world. We have the best stadium and the best fans, who push us every minute and this victory goes out to them."
