WSL: Toni Payne dazzles as Everton cruise past Leicester City
It's arguable to say that Toni Payne has finally settled to life in England with the Super Falcons midfielder putting on a show as Everton W secured a convincing 4-1 win against Leicester City yesterday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The win at the Walton Hall Park means that Everton have now recorded a rare back-to-back victory in the Women’s Super League in just a week.
Toni Payne played a pivotal role in Everton's dominant performance. Her contributions were instrumental in two of the team's four goals. First, Payne showcased her playmaking ability by setting up the second goal. After a well-executed hold-up play by Gago, Payne received the ball in a central position. She then demonstrated her dribbling skills, evading her defender before delivering a dangerous low cross that found its way to the far post for a simple tap-in.
Later in the match, Payne's attacking prowess was on full display once again. Her skillful movement and pace allowed her to create space on the wing, leaving her marker behind. She then delivered a perfectly weighted lofted cross into the box, which was met by Gago for a clinical finish, sealing her brace and Everton's fourth goal.
