Saturday saw Wolves suffer a defeat against Brighton, marking their second consecutive loss under Vitor Pereira’s management. Their struggle against the Seagulls continued, with only one win in their last nine encounters.
This result led to Wolves slipping down to 14th place in the Premier League standings, as Everton secured a victory over Fulham. With Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in action, Wanderers could potentially drop to 16th place.
Despite holding possession and taking 10 shots, Wolves lacked the finishing touch against Brighton. Matheus Cunha’s error in conceding a penalty that resulted in the opening goal added to Wolves’ woes. The Brazilian tried to make amends but could not find a way to equalize.
Following the defeat, Cunha took to Instagram to acknowledge a tough day and vowed to focus on the next match. Pereira, who believes Cunha is unsuitable as a striker, may make changes to the lineup for the upcoming game against Crystal Palace as a response to his costly mistake against Brighton.
Overall, the defeat highlighted Wolves’ need to finish the season strongly, despite having secured safety. Pereira will be looking for a better performance in their next match to avoid further disappointment.
