Black Stars forward Inaki Williams continued his fine run of form since the end of September's international break with another goal contribution for Athletic Bilbao.

Williams served an assist as the Copa del Rey holders defeated Celta Vigo 3-1 in La Liga on Sunday evening.

In three successive matches, the Ghana international has created or scored as the Rojiblancos extended their winning run to three matches.

The Spain-born Ghanaian has now provided five assists and scored a goal in the new Spanish league season.

Athletic Bilbao climbed to third place on the table after Gorka Guruzeta netted a brace to add to Alvaro Djalo's late stroke. Iago Aspas netted Celta's only goal from the spot.

Williams served Djalo, who replaced Guruzeta, with ten minutes remaining to round up another impressive display.

The Black Stars striker has been a key player for Ernesto Valverde's side and will be hoping to maintain his recent run of form.

He has five goal contributions so far, scoring one and assisting four.
