“Luck sometimes helps, work always”- Inaki Williams after making La Liga history

Ghana forward Inaki Williams has reacted after making history in the Spanish La Liga this past weekend for Athletic Bilbao.

The 30 year old Ghana international, bagged a hat-trick of assists in Bilbao’s 3-2 win over Las Palmas away from home.

The win was more impressive considering Bilbao played with 10 men after Mikel Jauregizar was dismissed in the 56^th minute.

Inaki assisted Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams and Aitor Paredes’ goals in the seventh, 30^th and 76th minute respectively at Gran Canaria.

By registering three assists in the game, the Black Stars player became the first player in La Liga to bag a hat-trick of assists in a game since 2005.

Reacting to the news of his historic feat, Inaki Williams wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) page, “Luck sometimes helps, work always”.

Inaki’s top performance comes on the back of featuring twice in Ghana’s 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger. Ghana missed out on a win in both games.
