Overview
- Williams struck in the 25th minute with a solo run and left-footed finish at San Mamés to decide the match.
- The goal was his first since August 17 after a pubalgia layoff that cost him eight games.
- Oviedo’s immediate reply was overturned after referee César Soto Grado, via VAR, found Ilyas Chaira marginally offside.
- The victory halted Athletic’s four-game winless stretch and nudged Ernesto Valverde’s side toward the European places as Oviedo fell to last.
- Eighteen-year-old Selton Sánchez made his league debut as a starter, and Unai Simón atoned for a near-costly error with a late save in added time.
