Real Madrid striker Joselu was happy scoring in their Copa del Rey win at Arandina.

Joselu struck from the spot for the 3-1 win.

He later said: We know how difficult these games are. There are no excuses, we're Madrid and we have to go out and win on any pitch. It was a bit tougher than usual, but we're pleased with the win and to get through to the next round."

Fortunately, I've taken a lot of penalties in my life and the coach continues to give me the confidence to keep taking them. I couldn't do much more, the pitch was very soft and I was afraid that it would go a bit wide, but I was 100% confident about scoring it."

On the penalty pecking order, he added: It depends on who is on the pitch. There are a lot of specialists and players with a lot of quality in the squad. It was my turn today, but I don't think that's the problem. From now on, everyone will certainly come in."
