The real reason Vitor Pereira benched Matheus Cunha in Wolves’ loss to Crystal Palace

Wolves are ending the season on a disappointing note, falling to Crystal Palace 4-2 in their second to last match.

They have now lost three games in a row, leaving fans frustrated after a six-game winning streak.

The team initially took the lead with Emmanuel Agbadou’s goal, but quickly lost it as Eddie Nketiah scored twice for Palace.

Ben Chilwell’s deflected free-kick and Eberechi Eze’s late goal sealed the win for Palace.

Despite the loss, Jorgen Strand Larsen surpassed Raul Jimenez’s first-season goal tally with Wolves, providing a silver lining.

Manager Vitor Pereira made six changes to the lineup, benching Matheus Cunha amidst Manchester United transfer speculation.

Pereira denied any connection between Cunha’s omission and the transfer rumors, stating that he wanted to give minutes to other hard-working players.

Although Pereira had hinted at Cunha playing in the remaining games, it seems likely that he will depart soon, making starting him unnecessary.

As Wolves prepare to face Brentford in their final match, fans are awaiting news on Cunha’s exit from the club.
