Moyes wins first Sociedad home game
Ex-Arsenal striker Vela scores hat-trick
Sociedad climb to 12th after win
That's it for tonight. Four points from his first two games in charge is not a bad start for David Moyes as he adapts to life in northern Spain.
Many thanks for all your comments and your company. We will have live text commentary from 18:30 GMT on Saturday as Real Madrid take on Malaga in La Liga. Until then.
Real Sociedad are now up to 12th in the La Liga table. There will be bigger tests ahead for David Moyes and his players. After facing Villarreal away on 7 December, they then have the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao seven days later. Barcelona visit on 4 January.
Dean Glass:, external This is a big result. We needed to show we can score and we have. Very delighted with this. Keep this up Moyes.
All over. Spanish flair combined with Scottish grit sees Real Sociedad home to their second win in 11 La Liga games.
Moyes continues to bark instructions from the sidelines. Can his players understand him? Who cares. Real Sociedad have the points.
Two minutes of stoppage time.
Hat-trick hero Carlos Vela gets a standing ovation as he makes his way off the pitch to be replaced by Chory Castro. Thoroughly deserved. Vela has been excellent. He's going to be very important to David Moyes.
Five minutes left. The crowd is awfully quiet again. It is clearly going to take a few more wins to lift Sociedad's fans after a terrible start to the season.
If only Elche could defend as well as they foul...
This time Domingo Cisma sees yellow after flinging an arm into Carlos Martínez's face.
Ugly night for the visitors.
He hasn't enjoyed a win since overseeing Manchester United's 4-0 win at Newcastle on 5 April. But David Moyes is 10 minutes away from marking his first home game as manager of Real Sociedad with three points.
Carlos Vela has been a thorn in the Elche defence all night and a cynical challenge by Victor Rordriguez sends the little Mexican sprawling midway inside the visitors' half. Yellow card for the man in green.
The change sees midfielder Ruben Pardo come on for Sergio Canales. Moyes already has one eye on next weekend's game at Villarreal.
This is so comfortable for the hosts. There's a little over 20 minutes remaining but the points are in the bag. Moyes is set to make a substitution. Will Carlos Vela be allowed to finish the game?
A sudden burst of noise from the stands as hat-trick hero Carlos Vela bursts forward before running into a wall of green.
Coro has just come on for Elche and with his first touch sends an effort whistling narrowly wide of the Sociedad post. Sociedad's fans have not enjoyed too many days like this yet it remains so quiet in the Anoeta Stadium. Maybe they can't believe what they're seeing.
Chelsea Warrior:, external Always thought David Moyes was a decent chap despite shambles during his Manchester United run. Players seem to be responding. Early days though.
Elche have been terrible. Their defence has been non-existent. This is easy pickings for Sociedad.
Take a bow Carlos Vela. A good old-fashioned toe-poke from 12 yards after collecting Carlos Martínez's pass puts Real Sociedad out of sight. Vela has looked a livewire all night and wheels away to celebrate. David Moyes, however, shows little emotion on the touchline. Come on, David. You're winning!
Image source, EPASociedad aren't hanging around as Alberto de la Bella forces a fine save from goalkeeper Przemysław Tyton. David Moyes wants this done and dusted.
Action-packed start to the new half. After Elche's Adrian Gonzalez spurns a glorious chance to reduce the deficit with a poor header, Carlos Vela forces a corner at the other end.
