Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with goalscorer Joselu after victory over Real Sociedad.

The hosts came from an early Ander Barrenetxea goal conceded to win 2-1 via efforts from Fede Valverde and Joselu.

Ancelotti said, "He's a great asset in attack because he plays very well with his back to goal, with his head and he's very dangerous in the opposition's box.

"He's also a very good header of the ball and we know what he can contribute. We don't have any player with these characteristics up front and he's very important because he's ready for crosses and he plays very well in the opposition's box.

"It's not a coincidence that he's scored in both home games because we've had more chances. I would have changed him anyway if he hadn't scored because I wanted more control in midfield. I debated whether or not to take him off after he scored."
