Since Gary O’Neil’s team fought hard against Manchester City last time out and ended the close match with nothing to show for their tenacious efforts, the somber phrase “when it rains, it pours” perfectly captures the awful state of affairs at Wolverhampton Wanderers right now.
To the dismay of the home crowd gathered at Molineux, the winner was first disallowed for offside before being controversially overturned. A late goal from John Stones for Pep Guardiola’s visitors would swing the Premier League match in City’s favor by two goals to one.
As players like Matheus Cunha attempt to continue to shine for the former AFC Bournemouth manager during depressing times in the West Midlands, O’Neil will have bought himself more time with this promising performance. The Wolves manager is under growing pressure to turn around the fortunes of the basement club.
Cunha’s form this season
Long before this season began, Wolves supporters could find solace in the Brazilian, who turned out to be a delightful 25-year-old during his finest season as an Old Gold player.
Over the course of 36 games, Cunha would help himself to an incredibly astounding 14 goals and eight assists, solidifying his status as a fan favorite. This season, his popularity has only grown since Wolves are at the bottom of the Premier League standings.
With the absence of players like Pedro Neto, the Old Gold are even more dependent on the arsenal of their South American star, who has three goals from eight Premier League games thus far.
Even if Cunha reiterates his value to the team, his salary is by no means the highest in O’Neil’s camp; rumors state that the former Atletico Madrid player presently makes a respectable £60,000 a week.
