Matheus Cunha “Restricted Himself From A Big Opportunity” In The Bournemouth Clash, And Finally FA Has Given The…

Matheus Cunha was on course to be named the ‘Man of the Match’ against Bournemouth until a silly decision saw him shown a straight red card.

The Cherries were lookiming to get their revenge over Vitor Pereira’s side after Wolves beat them 1-0 in the Premier League last weekend, and things started well for the home team.

Evanilson opened the scoring following some poor goalkeeping by Sam Johnstone. Cunha produced the goods when his side needed him the most, though. The Brazilian equalised with a long-range screamer in the 60th minute, but he went from hero to zero later on in the match.

What games Matheus Cunha will miss following FA Cup red card

Clashing with Kerkez deep into extra time, Cunha left referee Chris Kavanagh with no choice but to brandish a straight red card for violent conduct after he head butted the Hungarian.

The South American’s sending off not only put his side under huge pressure in the closing stages of Saturday’s FA Cup fifth round match, but he will also miss some very important matches.

The FA Cup’s rules on suspensions extend to Premier League games, meaning Cunha, who will miss Wolves’ next three matches, will be absent for some crucial relegation battles.

Disastrous

Pereira will be furious with his number 10 for losing his head the way he did.

Wolves weren’t losing when Cunha decided to square up to Kerkez, and he should be experienced enough to know he’s never going to get away with that sort of behaviour.

The Old Gold must now prepare for their next three matches without the help of their best player — a nightmare scenario for Pereira, who, despite being five points clear of Leicester and Ipswich, knows his side need as many points as they can get if they’re to retain their top-flight status.

Wolves failed to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals after suffering defeat away to Bournemouth.

The Old Gold traveled south to take on the Cherries for the second time in as many weeks after beating them 1-0 in the Premier League last weekend.

Vitor Pereira couldn’t mastermind another victory though. The Old Gold were beaten on penalties, and for one player, Saturday’s cup game was bitter-sweet

Matheus Cunha apologises for FA Cup red card

After Evanilson opened the scoring in the first half, Matheus Cunha was again Wolves’ hero. The Brazilian scored a stunning goal from long range at the hour mark.
