Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo was furious after their 1-1 draw with Alaves last night.

The Japan international felt he was regularly kicked by Alaves players during the game.

Kubo snapped: "Everyone does what they can, we try to win, but it's difficult like this.

"There are people who are hurting me a lot and I think they need to protect me a little more.

"Not just me, they have to protect players in general who try to do little things... They have to be protected a little bit, definitely."
