Quotes
"We knew that Getafe were going to be a tough opponent. Here you have to fight hard. This victory is important and has a lot of value," Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde said after his side's win over Getafe.
"I have nothing to say about the referee, he must have seen it very clearly. I've been sent off for something, I can't say anything. I protested about the penalty, which I don't think it was. It happened and that's it.
"I don't like that I got sent off and I'm not proud of it." Athletic had the match under control until the first red card in the 58th minute and needed to show plenty of character to hold on for the win."
