Real Sociedad boss David Moyes has claimed that Sunday's Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao "was played in a British style".

Neither side could find the back of the net at the Anoeta, with both defences coming out on top in what was a close-fought match.

Moyes has admitted that his team "lacked accuracy" for stages of the match and hinted that a share of the spoils was the correct result on the night.

"We lacked accuracy from set pieces and in our passing. Athletic had chances in the first half, but we did in the second," Moyes told reporters.

"The match was played in a British style as it was hotly contested."

Each of the last four Basque derbies between Sociedad and Bilbao have finished level.
