Moyes happy at elusive La Real win

David Moyes said he was happy to have finally achieved a first away win of the season following Real Sociedad’s Monday night victory over Getafe.

The Basques last tasted success on the road on April 16 last year – a 1-0 defeat of Real Betis – while they have now achieved back-to-back victories for the first time this campaign to move up to tenth in the table, level on points with Espanyol.

Inigo Martinez was the hero, rising to guide in a header from Esteban Granero on 66 minutes, and it proved enough to bring their poor run away from Anoeta to an end.

“It’s been a long time without winning away from home, although we did have chances to have done it earlier against Granada and Levante,” Moyes told reporters post-match.

“We really didn’t want to see headlines saying we’d gone a year without an away win. We are improving and getting stronger.”
