Ghanaian forward, Inaki Williams continued with his hot run of form in La Liga this season after netting his third goal of the campaign in Athletic Club's victory over Deportivo Alaves.

The victory sends Athletic Club fourth on the table, just three points off leaders Girona with Real Madrid yet to play their sixth game of the season.

"We're happy. We've come here, where there's a tough atmosphere, played well and got a result," said Athletic Club manager Ernesto Valverde after the game, as quoted by the club's official website. "But now we have to keep this up. Thirteen points out of 18? That tells me we've dropped five on the way."

"It was a derby, we played well. Both teams were strong and little by little we took control of the match."

Athletic Club will next face Getafe in La Liga on September 27, 2023.
