Former Arsenal striker Carlos Vela made sure David Moyes’ reign at Anoeta started in style scoring a hat-trick in Real Sociedad’s 3-0 win over Elche. Despite the best efforts of fussy referee Carlos Velasco, Moyes picked up his first win and it was largely thanks to the Mexican international who scored twice in the first half and then again after the break to help Real Sociedad move away from the La Liga drop zone. Vela had the ball in the net inside three minutes when Sergio Canales tricked his way down the right and rolled the ball into Carlos Martinez’ path. The right back crossed to Real Sociedad’s leading scoring and he scored with a powerful header.
