He went on to explain: 'They did a tremendous job in the first half, defended very well and left us no space. At half-time, I told the players that if we wanted to win the game, we had to be patient, stay calm and take the chances that came our way, which is exactly what we did.' He also highlighted Miguel de la Fuente's contribution, adding: 'Miguel has been very clinical. He's a great striker and I want to congratulate him'.

'Although the goals came in quick succession and things worked out very well for us,' the Rojiblancos' boss pointed out: 'We put in a very complete performance. We created chances, prevented CD Leganés from hitting us on the counter-attack and stopped Morata from receiving the ball. I want to congratulate the squad on the fantastic performance they put in.'

This run is very important and it could give us a cushion if difficult moments come along later.'
