The nightmare season for Wolves reached a new low on Saturday as chaos erupted following their demoralizing defeat to relegation rivals Ipswich.
The star of the team, Matheus Cunha, found himself in the middle of the turmoil, engaging in a physical altercation with a member of Ipswich’s security team after the disappointing 2-1 loss to the Tractor Boys.
The tension at Molineux escalated as Ipswich scored a late winner from a set piece, highlighting the Old Gold’s ongoing defensive struggles. This marked the 16th time this season that Wolves had conceded a goal from a set play, further compounding their woes.
The situation turned chaotic at the final whistle, with Ait-Nouri receiving a red card and Cunha getting embroiled in a scuffle with a member of the Ipswich staff. Photos circulating on ESPN captured Cunha grabbing the individual’s glasses and possibly elbowing them in the head in the heat of the moment.
This incident is sure to trigger an investigation, and the repercussions for Cunha could be significant if his actions are deemed inappropriate. Manager Gary O’Neil will need to address the situation promptly, as it adds to the team’s already considerable challenges this season, particularly with Ait-Nouri facing a suspension.
Defensive concerns continue to plague Wolves as they navigate a turbulent season, with uncertainty looming over their prospects of escaping relegation. The incidents on and off the pitch paint a grim picture for the struggling club, raising questions about their ability to turn their fortunes around.
