Inaki fires two goals vs Mourinho's Fenerbahce
Williams wasted no time making his presence felt, breaking the deadlock just five minutes into the encounter.
Capitalising on a defensive misstep from the hosts, he latched onto a precise pass from Gorka Guruzeta and coolly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.
The early strike underscored his clinical edge and awareness in front of goal, which had been missing with the senior men's national team.
The Black Stars forward wasn’t content with just one moment of brilliance.
On the cusp of halftime, he doubled Athletic's advantage in spectacular fashion.
Collecting a pass from Oihan Sancet, Williams darted into the penalty area, outfoxing his marker with a deft shimmy before unleashing a thunderous shot from an acute angle, leaving the opposition stunned.
His brace was more than enough to seal yet another win in the Europa League, solidifying their spot at the summit of the league phase, per Football Espana.
