Wolverhampton Wanderers staged a remarkable comeback to clinch a thrilling 2-2 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion in their most recent Premier League clash. The Old Gold emerged as the happier side at the conclusion of a pulsating encounter.
Gary O’Neil’s team appeared destined for another defeat before two late goals from Rayan Aït-Nouri and Matheus Cunha secured a vital point for the visitors. Cunha’s fourth goal of the season highlighted his importance to the relegation-threatened Wolves, with the Brazilian star shining brightly despite their struggles.
Cunha’s exceptional performance against the Seagulls showcased his creativity and goal-scoring prowess. The 25-year-old was a constant threat throughout the match, contributing four key passes and five shots on goal alongside his crucial equalizer. Although there was an element of luck in his goal, Cunha’s impact on the team was undeniable.
While Cunha continues to excel for Wolves, his modest wage of £60k-per-week stands in stark contrast to the expensive misstep of Patrick Cutrone. The Italian striker arrived at Molineux with high expectations in a £23m deal but failed to make a significant impact before being loaned out and eventually sold to Como.
Cutrone’s lack of success at Wolves cost the club a staggering £26m in total, highlighting the contrast between his underwhelming spell and Cunha’s impressive performances. As Cutrone finds success back in Italy, it is evident that his move to Wolves was a mismatch, while Cunha’s partnership with O’Neil’s side continues to flourish.
