Bilbao took the slender advantage into the break and then quickly doubled that lead when Williams drilled home.
Carlos Bacca, the Colombian on loan at Villarreal from AC Milan, hit his 10th league goal this term to make it 2-1, but they could not mount a comeback and Muniain made the points safe late on.
Villarreal's miserable night was complete when centre-back Alvaro was sent off at the death.
