Quotes
"The most important thing was to win and we did it with a clean sheet," Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil said after his side's win over Espanyol.
'It is very complicated that now we ask the team to be as lucid as, for example, when we were playing in the Champions League, because we are not physically well, first, and because there are a lot of new people and everything has a time.
"If we ask the team for the clarity of other times we are making a mistake. It was important to win to get time and that is what we have done."
Head-to-Head
Sociedad claimed a 1-0 win over Alaves in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at Estadio de Mendizorroza on 31 March.
Therefore, the White and Blues are undefeated in their last six La Liga matches against the Glourios One having registered three wins and three draws.
