Wolves extended their winning streak to six games with a 3-0 victory over Leicester City at Molineux. Matheus Cunha was instrumental in the win, scoring one goal and providing two assists for Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes.
Cunha’s goal tied the record for most goals in a single Premier League season by a Brazilian player, with 15 goals. This achievement was previously accomplished by Roberto Firmino for Liverpool in 2017/18 and Gabriel Martinelli in 2022/23.
Cunha took to Instagram to acknowledge the feat, thanking God, family, and friends. He expressed his gratitude and pride in achieving this record, also congratulating his teammates on their performance.
Wolves coach Vitor Pereira praised Cunha, calling him a “special player” who showed commitment and quality during the game. Pereira highlighted Cunha’s confidence and character, emphasizing his importance to the team.
Despite speculation surrounding his potential transfer to Manchester United this summer, Cunha’s focus remained on helping Wolves. His impressive performance may have drawn even more attention, potentially benefiting Wolves if his release clause is paid in full.
The win marked a significant milestone for Wolves, with their last six-win streak in the top-flight dating back to 1970. The team’s current form has seen them move up the table, and Cunha’s contributions have been crucial to their success.
