Real Sociedad coach Imanol: We deserved victory over Athletic Bilbao; fans were key

Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil was delighted with their 3-0 win against Athletic Bilbao.

La Real dominated the match and were comfortable derby winners.

Imanol said: "When we create eight chances and we don't score, it's of no use. What it's about is creating and being successful and today we were very good, because today we generated more than them and we were successful.

"I think that today we created to have scoring opportunities and we were right, for a 3-0 I think it's fair, because if not it would be another result.

"We have been patient and we have known how to find the spaces, and at a defensive level we have also been very good. Athletic were in a great moment, they were on their own merits where they were, they were the team that focused the most... I think the match has a lot of merit what we have done.

"I am super happy with the great work the team has done and how the fans have enjoyed it. Yesterday I said that I liked the atmosphere from minute 1 to 90, no matter how the team was, and today I think the players and fans have been of chapeau."
