Mariano Díaz scores twice as Alavés thrash Anaitasuna 6-1
Jonny Otto, Miguel Rodríguez, Mañas and Aleñà also scored for Alavés; Anaitasuna's only goal came from Juaristi.
Alavés eased through their Copa del Rey trip to Campo de Txerloia, winning 6-1. Mariano Díaz scored twice, and Quique Sánchez Flores's side never gave Anaitasuna a way back, their only reply coming from Juaristi in the 43rd minute.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the coach fielded a team full of players who rarely feature and switched to a 3-5-2 that looked comfortable, despite a pitch that did not help the ball movement. Jonny Otto opened the scoring in the 28th minute and Mariano made it 2-0 before half-time.
After the break, Miguel Rodríguez (56') and Mariano again (57') sealed it within a minute. Mañas (79') and Aleñà (86') completed the rout.
