Atletico Madrid’s win marred by racism against Bilbao forward Williams

ATLETICO MADRID win over Athletic Bilbao was marred on Saturday evening after Nico Williams reported being racially abused by a section of home fans at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitan.
The contest, which Atleti won 3-1 to go six points clear of fifth-placed Bilbao, was briefly halted after Williams drew attention to racist noises.
Rodrigo Paul had put Atletico ahead after a quarter of an hour but Williams equalised on the stroke of half time at the same end where the abuse occurred and he celebrated by pointing to his arm.
