David Silva created two goals as he inspired Real Sociedad to the top of La Liga with victory over Huesca.
Silva, 34, who joined Sociedad on a free transfer after leaving Manchester City, set up second-half goals for Cristian Portu and Alexander Isak.
Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice for the hosts, including a penalty, either side of Rafa Mir’s effort for Huesca.
Sociedad are a point clear of champions Real Madrid but Zinedine Zidane’s side have a game in hand.
Sociedad have won La Liga twice in their history, the most recent triumph coming in the 1981-82 campaign.
