David Moyes is still under pressure as Real Sociedad manager after Las Palmas secured a surprise 2-0 victory against his struggling side.

The former Everton and Manchester United boss is enduring a torrid time in Spain and is still waiting for a first home win of the season.

Sitting two places above the drop zone in La Liga heading into the clash, bottom club Las Palmas climbed off the foot of the table with goals by Jonathan Viera and Sergio Araujo being enough to secure the three points.

The lowly side face Europa League winners Sevilla and Champions League holders Barcelona in their next two La Liga games, after the international break.

Moyes, who was sacked at Old Trafford before completing a full-season with the Premier League giants, has been linked with a host of jobs in England since leaving.

Sunderland have since appointed Sam Allardyce while West Ham United opted to hire Slavan Bilic in the summer before Remi Garde was handed the Aston Villa position.
