Athletic Bilbao dominated Real Sociedad to win 2-0 on Friday night in the Basque derby.
Inaki Williams gave Athletic the lead in the 11th minute by sending a first-time shot crashing into the net to complete a quick move sparked by a throw in.
Raul Garcia extended their advantage in the 28th with a strike from outside the area which looped into the net.
Sociedad had a penalty awarded in between the two goals but it was overturned after a VAR review deemed that the foul had taken place outside the area.
Things got worse when they lost influential midfielder Asier Illarramendi to injury.
Swedish teenager Alexander Isak did manage to put the ball in the net for the visitors after the interval but the effort was ruled offside after another VAR review.
