Williams, who netted 12 goals in La Liga last season, will be hoping the Rojiblancos recover quickly to start winning games when they travel to Barcelona in their next match.

Having started the game the better of the two sides, the host opened the scoring through Oihan Sancet after just 27 minutes, per Live Score.

Athletic Bilbao dominated the first half but a strong header in the second half from Nigerian Chrisantus Uche ensured Getafe left San Mames with a valuable point.

Meanwhile, Williams' junior brother, Nico Williams, who remains a target for Barcelona was also handed a starting role despite returning to camp late following his involvement in the European championship. Williams Jr starred as La Roja won the competition in Germany.
