Alaves coach Garcia Plaza expresses anger following home loss to Valladolid - Carlos Volcano

Valladolid secured their first victory of the LaLiga season with a thrilling 2-1 triumph over Alaves. Goals from Mamadou Sylla and Selim Amallah from the penalty spot were enough to secure the win, with Toni Martinez scoring for Alaves in between.

Anuar Tuhami had Valladolid 3-1 ahead before Kike Garcia pulled a goal back in injury-time before he was sent off.

García Plaza appeared visibly angry afterwards as he spoke to local reporters.

Assessment of the match:

“We were not good. We cannot score four goals to win a match. Either we improve defensively or we are going to suffer. The penalty is debatable, it is a play that is sometimes called and sometimes not.

"There was a penalty on Tomy that was clear, so I don't understand when the VAR comes in and when it doesn't. We have to know who we are, there are people who have to prove a lot in the first division. I am very disappointed with the game we played.”

Worried?

“We made mistakes. We are what we are. There are many people who are making their debut in the first division and I think we made mistakes. We have to improve a lot in defence.”

Kike's expulsion and final card for Abqar?

“There he has to be calmer, both Kike and the referee. I haven't seen what happened to Abqar, if it was because of protesting, then it was a bad idea."
