Ghana center-forward Inaki Williams scored a brace to extend Athletic Bilbao's unbeaten run in the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League to six games in their emphatic away victory over Fenerbahce on Wednesday evening.
Williams, who lasted for 85 minutes of the game action, scored twice to help Athletic Bilbao stay unbeaten in the Europa League with a 2-0 away win at 10-man Fenerbahce.
Williams put the visitors ahead early with an easy tap-in after Gorka Guruzeta’s assist and added his second at the end of the first half when his angled shot from the right hit the crossbar and bounced into the net.
The Black Stars attacker has scored four goals in six matches for Athletic Bilbao in the competition so far this season.
Inaki Williams has now notched up eight goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances across all competitions for the San Mames Stadium outfit.
Fenerbahçe were reduced to 10 men after defender Mert Müldür received his second yellow card in the 69th.
Bilbao moved to the top of the table with 16 points from six games in the league phase of the revamped competition. Fenerbahce has eight points in 15th place after its second loss of the campaign.
The first eight teams advance directly to the round of 16 of UEFA Europa League competition.
All the 17 remaining Europa League games are scheduled for Thursday, when Lazio and Frankfurt could join Bilbao atop the standings with wins.
