Inaki Williams was named the man of the match for his superb performance in Athletic Bilbao’s 2-1 La Liga victory over Espanyol on Saturday afternoon at the RCDE Stadium.
Athletic Bilbao struggled early on. After a beautiful long pass from Dani Garca, Laki Williams sent the ball into Pacheco’s goal in minute 22.
The Black Stars striker dedicated his goal to his brother Nico by hugging him.
Athletic was considerably superior and had a comfortable lead, but a mistake at the back a few minutes before halftime allowed former Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite to score, but his goal was ruled off by VAR.
