A brace from Aritz Aduriz and late goals from Ibai Gomez and Markel Susaeta saw Ernesto Valverde’s men end a three-game winless run.
The win lifted Bilbao into eighth in the table, eight points adrift of Villarreal – who are sixth and occupy the final European place.
Aduriz doubled Bilbao’s advantage early in the second half with a good finish after being played through by Andoni Iraola.
