Real Sociedad moved away from the danger zone after a 0-3 win at Granada on Tuesday evening, Agirretxe the scorer of all three goals for David Moyes’ team. The Basque striker got on the end of a Zurutuza cross to turn a shot past Andrés Fernández in the seventh minute, and with just over half an hour gone he intercepted a poor Doria back-pass to run on past the keeper and make it two. With Rulli suspended, Real had to fork out €100,000 under a loan agreement to allow Oier to play, but he had little to do other than keep out a shot from El-Arabi before the interval. Andrés had to make saves from Canales and Agirretxe after the break, and with ten minutes to go Agirretxe completed his hat-trick, holding off Krhin to lift a shot past the visiting keeper.
