The Ghana forward recovered just in time to extend his record-breaking feat in the Spanish top-flight as the Basque side fell to the Catalans

Inaki Williams’ incredible record of playing in every La Liga match since April 20, 2016 continued on Sunday as he shook of injury concerns to make it 237 consecutive appearances for Athletic Bilbao in their 1-0 loss to Espanyol.

The Ghana forward went down injured in last Monday’s 4-0 victory over Cadiz and there were fears that he would not be available for Sunday’s clash due to a sprained ankle, but he recovered just in time to extend his record-breaking run and keep his six-and-a-half-year feat intact.

It was, however, not a good outing for Williams as Athletic’s unbeaten start to the La Liga season was snapped thanks to a goal from debutant Martin Braithwaite, seeing the Basque club miss a chance to go unbeaten against Espanyol in six straight top-flight matches for the first time since 1946.
