Athletic also scored four goals against Cadiz and Elche, racking up 16 goals in the first seven matches and increasing optimism they could finish in the upper echelons of the table. “The hard thing is to generate the chances, that’s why I was calm when sometimes goals haven’t gone in.” Brothers Inaki Williams and Nico Williams were on target, while Oihan Sancet and Mikel Vesga also scored in the San Mames romp.
