Spain under-21 striker Inaki Williams has beaten the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez to the Sky Sports La Liga Goal of the Season award.

The award voted for by fans saw the Ghanaian-born player pip Luis Suarez to the crown in a closely-fought contest.

Williams, born to a Ghanaian father and a Liberian mother in Basque, Spain, polled 18.4 percent of the vote for a stupendous flick and volley against Espanyol.

He beat the controversial penalty that Suarez – set up by Lionel Messi – scored against Celta Vigo by just 0.4 percent of the vote.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the third spot for his fierce strike, via a drop of the shoulder and a stepover, against Espanyol.

Real Madrid pair Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez, plus Barcelona forward Neymar were among those who featured in the list.

Best goal in La Liga Poll:

Inaki Williams (ATHLETIC BILBAO) v Villareal – 18.4%

Luis Suarez (BARCELONA) v Celta Vigo – 18%

Cristiano Ronaldo (REAL MADRID) v Espanyol – 17%
