Inaki Williams scored twice\u00a0in Athletic Bilbao\u2019s win over Real Sociedad in the Basque derby on Saturday at Sam Mames.<\/p>\n

Having scored in his last two games, the striker continued with his fine form and netted a\u00a0brace to help his team beat their fierce rivals 2-0 and move closer to securing European football for next season in La Liga.<\/p>\n

Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro made a great save after a shot from Nico Williams after a mistake in the 254th minute\u00a0before the latter scored the opener by stabbing home a corner.<\/p>\n

Despite La Real\u2019s complaints that Inaki had handled the ball after taking a swing and mishitting it, VAR confirmed otherwise.<\/p>\n

Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simon made a great double save to deny Ander Barrenetxea and Take Kubo, maintaining his team\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n

Inaki then scored his second goal after 70 minutes, driving into the box and firing past Remiro from a tight angle.<\/p>\n

Although Alexander Sorloth had a chance to score for the visitors, he inexplicably slammed the ball over the bar from point-blank range.<\/p>\n

Barrenetxea also missed a chance to score when he was unmarked in the box late on, leaving Athletic fans laughing at their luck in the stands.<\/p>\n

Inaki Williams was substituted in the 89th minute.<\/p>\n
