Everton midfielder Toni Payne is full of excitement after opening her goal account for the Super Falcons, DAILY POST reports.

Payne scored Nigeria’s second goal in Friday night’s 2-1 friendly win over Senegal at the Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne.

Asisat Oshoala gave Nigeria the lead from the spot in the 32nd minute.

Payne doubled Justine Madugu’s side lead with a fine finish just before the break.

The 31-year-old was pleased to finally get off the mark for the African champions.

”I’m happy to score (for the Falcons) after almost five years so just really good to do it here in Nigeria,” she said after the game.

Payne, who represented the United States of America at youth level before later switching international allegiance has made 46 appearances for Nigeria.
