LaLiga Matchweek 8: Team of the Week

Midfielders

Deportivo Alavés vs. Real Madrid CF - La Liga

MF - Mikel Oyarzabal - Real Sociedad

The biggest fixture of the weekend played out on Friday in the Basque derby, and Mikel Oyarzabal was the hero for Real Sociedad.

The midfielder netted two goals, both from the penalty spot, to give his squad the win over Athletic Club. Real Sociedad will look to follow this up with another good result in their next fixture, when they host Girona on October 22.

MF - Manu García - Deportivo Alavés

Alavés did well on Saturday to frustrate Real Madrid in the final third, and it was Manu García who provided the late winner for all that hard work.

Deep into stoppage-time, the second-half substitute delivered a goal after an Alavés free-kick.

MF - Rubén Alcaraz - Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid just keep securing victories, with Rubén Alcaraz’s influence in the middle against Huesca having a very strong effect on the final scoreline.

The 27-year-old scored a goal in the first half, and his passing was accurate throughout the game.
