Eusebio Sacristan delighted to start with a win

Real Sociedad boss Eusebio Sacristan has said that he was "very happy" with his team's performance in their 2-0 win over Sevilla at the weekend.

The La Liga clash at the Anoeta was Eusebio's first game in charge of the Basque outfit having replaced David Moyes at the helm earlier this month.

The former Barcelona B boss has also praised the role of the supporters in the two-goal victory, claiming that their "enthusiasm" helped the team claim all the points.

"I'm very happy because it was a very good performance from us. We displayed good sensations and [this performance] is the way forward for us," Eusebio told reporters.

"You start a game with a new coach and different nuances to your game against quality opponents, and it allows you to best assess what you worked on during the international break. It's something that I'm pleased about.

"There will be opportunities for everyone. I'm looking for competition because it will only benefit the team. I must also thank the fans for their enthusiasm and realism."

Imanol Agirretxe and Xabi Prieto were both on the scoresheet for Sociedad against the Europa League holders.
