Williams’ worrying fall was not the only lengthy delay late in the match.
A horror clash of heads between Beto and Morgan Gibbs-White during stoppage time caused a seven-minute pause in the action.
Sky Sports refused to show a replay of the incident whilst both players received treatment.
Once the match resumed, Everton were able to maintain their 2-0 lead to claim a crucial victory.
Goals from Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil move the Toffees five points clear of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, their opponents remain 17th and just a point above Luton in the battle for survival.
