Toni Payne's strike eases Sevilla's relegation fears

Toni Payne was on target as Sevilla defeated Logrono 2-1 in a Spanish Superliga encounter at the Estadio Nuevo Municipal Las Gaunas on Sunday.

Payne's effort plus Jenni Morilla's strike ensured Cristian Toro's side eased their relegation troubles against struggling hosts not minding Irene Yanguas' late consolation.

The 23-year-old doubled the lead for Sevilla in the 37th minute after Morilla opened the scoring three minutes earlier in the contest.

Although Yanguas pulled one back at the death, her effort was not enough to save Hector Blanco's ladies from their 13th defeat of the season.
