Las Palmas Defeats Rayo Vallecano 3-1 in La Liga

Las Palmas achieved a surprising 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, marking their third win in four matches. Fabio Silva opened the scoring with a header from a corner kick, and Rayo's Aridane Hernandez later scored an own goal, extending Las Palmas' lead. Substitute Manu Fuster added a third goal just minutes later, while Rayo's only response came from another own goal by Scott McKenna in stoppage time. Despite dominating possession and registering 34 shots, Rayo was unable to convert their chances, with Las Palmas goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen earning MVP honors for his performance. The win elevates Las Palmas to 15th place, while Rayo remains in 9th position. Colombian star James Rodríguez, who played a mere 15 minutes, continues to struggle for a starting role under coach Iñigo Pérez, leading to speculation about a potential winter transfer.
