Payne on target as Rayo Vallecano edge Sevilla in five-goal thriller

Toni Payne found the back of the net but her late effort could not save Sevilla from a 3-2 away defeat to Rayo Vallecano in Saturday’s Spanish Primera Iberdrola encounter.

The Nigeria international bagged her 24th start for Sevilla and she made a tangible contribution even though their side lost at Rayo.

Prior to the contest, Sevilla had bounced back from a four-match winless run to a shock 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid but they could not replicate their fine performance against Carlos Santiso's side.
