Two minutes later, the ex-Montpellier striker had the chance to double the lead after he was played in by Alexis Sanchez, but the resulting attempt was wide.

Sevilla grew into the game, and Adams had another chance to score a second goal, but missed in quick succession.

Rayo Vallecano then drew level five minutes after the restart. Fran Perez won a foul on the edge of the Sevilla box after he was infringed by Azpilicueta.

The resulting free kick was placed into the top corner by the 23-year-old Spanish winger.

This season, Sevilla under Matias Almeyda watch, have found it hard to secure a consistent run of wins.

In 28 league games, Sevilla have secured just seven wins; meanwhile, they've lost five more than the number of victories they've secured.
