(Reuters) – Sevilla's hopes of retaining the title of Primera Liga after their 2-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday have dropped.
In difficulty Athletic Bilbao kept his chances of staying in the spotlight with forward Inaki Williams having two breathtaking goals in his 100th league game in the Primera Liga. Williams ended two years of absence from San Mames and scored a magnificent goal in each half.
Sevilla remains third with 33 points after the defeat, seven points behind leader Barcelona, who could extend by 10 points his lead over the Andalusian club 's EBC beat Sunday.
Athletic Bilbao is 16th with 22 points, three points behind the relegation zone.
Williams gave the advantage to his team in the middle of the first period, after poking a path to the left and punctured the ball to score his first goal at home since the draw against Ibar in December 2016 .
Sevilla defeated Atletic Bilbao 3-1 in the last three days of the World Cup, but Sevilla suffered from coach Jaizka Garretano, who struggles to cope with the possibility of relegation to second division for the first time in his career.
Dutch midfielder Quincy Proms was almost as far ahead as the guests with a close-range shot from behind the far post, while Argentinian playmaker Ever Paniga fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box.
But Williams, who also scored the winner of Celta Vigo in the last game, scored the second goal with a superb effort after pbading the ball past one of the defenders, then avoided the goalkeeper before hitting the goal to the 82nd minute to settle the match for Bilbao.
