Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil was delighted with their 2-0 win against Cadiz.

Mikel Merino struck as did Arsen Zakharyan in his first for the club.

Imanol said: "The first thing I feel is satisfaction, especially for the fans, because it was a long time without winning and they have always been with us. We had almost forgotten to celebrate getting the three points, which are very important. I am very happy to be back to win at home.

"It's one thing for fans not to leave happy after losing, but it's always been good, they cheered us on PSG day, they were also with the team against Osasuna, another thing is for them to leave sad for not winning... But the fans has always been in the Champions League, even in this phase in which the team has not given them the joy they deserved."

On Zakharyan, he also said: "Like the reserve team players, we have to give him time, because he is only 20 years old and had a lot of adaptation problems. There is no doubt about his quality, he has plenty of it, and this is going to be good for him.

"Like Turrientes with minutes and time, and learning from the players around him, he will improve. I am convinced that this goal will be very good for him."
