Sevilla killed the game in a 7-minute siege with three goals, Munir notching a brace and providing an assist
The second half began as the first ended with Sevilla on the attack, except this time the goals would arrive, three in a seven-minute spell. Promes was the first to fire past Alberto to calm Sevillistas' nerves. With the floodgates open, Sarabia would provide Munir with a goal barely a minute later, the striker showing composure to control and fire past Rayo's goalkeeper.
With the game in Sevilla's favour, Munir, who played an excellent game, made the most of a rebound to seal his brace. The striker would not stop there, providing a spectacular assist to Ben Yedder before coming off for Bryan Gil.
Bryan scored his first goal for the club after a wonderful bit of skill in the box
The rout was completed, to the joy of the whole stadium, by the youngster Bryan Gil. The academy player received a pass from Sarabia and, with a bit of composure fitting of a veteran, dribbled past the last Rayo defender and fired past Alberto. A wonderful goal to round off a brilliant night in Nervión despite the fact that the goals took a while to arrive.
Sevilla will look for another win away from home on Sunday against Girona which would assure them of a European place this season and would keep the fight for fourth place alive.
