Valverde: "It was a complete performance"

Athletic Club boss Ernesto Valverde praised the Lions for quickly "getting back to winning ways" and for doing so in style with a 3-0 win over UD Almería at San Mames.

Gorka Guruzeta put Los Rojiblancos ahead early on, before Dani Garcia - with his first ever Athletic goal after six seasons at the club - and Oihan Sancet put the game to bed in a sizzling second-half display.

"The plan you have in your head is for everything to work out well, to dominate and score goals," Valverde said post-match.

"That's what we did, although it's true we could have settled the match much quicker. We wanted to get back to winning ways and it was a complete performance. We're doing well."
