Audio By Carbonatix

Ghanaian forward Inaki Williams scored the 80th goal of his La Liga career over the weekend as Athletic Bilbao defeated Villarreal.

The 30-year-old scored the second goal in the 2-0 home win which saw his side move up the league table on Sunday afternoon.

Aitor Paredes got the Basque club to a flying start after just 15 minutes as he finished off Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta's pass into his path.

Villarreal thought they had equalised in the 22nd minute, but Pape Gueye's goal was ruled out after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review.

Ernesto Valverde's side went into the break the better side and with a goal ahead.

That lead was doubled after the return from recess with Inaki scoring his fourth league goal of the campaign. The goal was also the Ghanaian's 80th in the Spanish top flight days after celebrating his 10th anniversary at the club.

With his goal over the weekend, Inaki Williams has now been involved in eight goals in 16 league games this season.
