Silva shoots Las Palmas to victory over Rayo Vallecano

Substitute Manu Fuster sealed Las Palmas' win on a counterattack four minutes later.

Rayo dominated the game without finding a breakthrough. The home team's consolation came after an own goal from Scott McKenna in stoppage time.

James played for the last quarter-hour to make his sixth league appearance for Rayo.

Since his surprise summer move to Vallecas, the 33-year-old former Real Madrid midfielder has started only one La Liga game.

Spanish media reports suggested last week the playmaker could leave in the winter transfer window.

He reportedly does not fit with Rayo coach Iñigo Pérez's preferred style of play based on pressure and intensity.
