Inaki and Nico Williams were on target at their Athletic Club and came from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano 3-2 in an entertaining La Liga match on Saturday night.Rayo took the lead early on when Oscar Trejo finished off from an incisive counter just five minutes in. But Ernesto Valverde’s team was in the mood tonight and wouldn’t allow their guests from Vallecas the points – even though the Red Lighting had more of the ball.Inaki, the elder of the Williams brothers, equalized on the counter-attack with a great goal, and Oihan Sancet got San Mames celebrating again with a strike from a lovely move featuring Iker Muniain, Alex Berenguer and Sancet himself. Rayo midfielder Isi Palazon crashed a promising shot into the crossbar and warned Athletic that Rayo came to the Basque Country with a victory on their minds.However, it was the red and whites who got that crucial third goal, with Nico Williams poking a ball past Stole Dimitrievski.After the break, Rayo continued to search for chances. Atletico Madrid forward Sergio Camello, on loan with the Vallecas team, thought he’d made it 3-2 20 minutes after the break, but his goal was disallowed after a VAR review.But Rayo’s old Tiger Radamel Falcao wouldn’t back down, and he scored one of the goals of the season, finding the top corner from a Fran Garcia cross. Athletic Club’s lead was reduced to just a goal and there were still around ten minutes left. The race was on.Brothers Iñaki and Nico Williams scored in the same competitive game for the first time 👏 pic.twitter.com/ZM6EME9lXq— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) September 17, 2022 Rayo attacked with everything they’ve got, but the Bilbao team held on to claim the points thanks to their Ghanaian brothers.Elsewhere in La Liga, Valencia hammered Celta Vigo at Mestalla by putting three goals past the Galicians without reply.LA LIGA – ROUND 6FridayValladolid – Cadiz 0-1 (0-0)/Negredo 90+2/SaturdayMallorca – Almeria 1-0 (1-0)/Maffeo 25/Barcelona – Elche 3-0 (2-0)/Lewandowski 34, 48, Depay 41/Valencia – Celta 3-0 (1-0)/Castillejo 37, Andre 82, Almeida 90+3/Athletic Club – Rayo Vallecano 3-2 (3-1)/I.Williams 14, Sancet 28, N.Williams 33 – Trejo 5, Falcao 80/Sunday15:00: (1.85) Osasuna (3.45) Getafe (5.10)17:15: (1.85) Villareal (3.60) Sevilla (4.80)19:30: (1.70) Betis (3.60) Girona (5.40)19:30: (1.75) Sociedad (3.70) Espanyol (5.40)22:00: (3.00) Atl.Madrid (3.30) Real Madrid (2.55)***odds are subject to change***
