Wolves secured their fourth consecutive Premier League win, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 at Molineux. The hosts were gifted their first two goals due to poor goalkeeping by Spurs’ Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham pulled one back through Mathys Tel, but Wolves restored their two-goal lead when Jorgen Strand Larsen scored.
The Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, who had been suspended and sparked controversy with a social media post suggesting his future lay elsewhere, made a notable return. Cunha came on as a substitute and scored Wolves’ fourth goal, which sealed the win.
The Wolves fans’ reaction to Cunha’s appearance was surprisingly positive, with barely any boos despite his recent controversy. After scoring, Cunha made gestures that seemed to convey apology and a desire for forgiveness, including a praying motion and pointing to the Wolves badge.
Cunha’s celebration was seen as genuine humility, and it was welcomed by fans. Despite his flaws, Cunha is considered crucial to Wolves’ Premier League status, and his performance was a reminder of his importance to the team.
