Matheus Cunha, a talented forward for Wolves, found himself in hot water after an intense match against Ipswich Town. The game ended in a dramatic 2-1 win for Ipswich, causing emotions to run high. As the final whistle blew, Wolves' defender Rayan Ait-Nouri was shown a red card and had to be held back by his teammate Craig Dawson as he attempted to confront the opposing team.
Meanwhile, Cunha was seen pushing a member of Ipswich Town's staff in the face, causing his glasses to fall off. This behavior did not go unnoticed by the Football Association, as Cunha has now been charged with misconduct. Despite scoring his eighth league goal of the season, the Brazilian could now face a lengthy ban for his actions.
In a statement released by the FA, it was stated that Cunha acted in an improper manner after the game and has until Thursday to respond to the charges. This incident has caused quite a stir, with Cunha's future with the team now uncertain.
To add to the team's troubles, Wolves also faced a defeat against their relegation rivals, making it their fourth loss in a row. As a result, manager Gary O'Neil was sacked the following day. The team currently sits at 19th place in the table, five points away from safety, with only two wins in their first 16 games.
However, Wolves did not waste any time in finding a replacement for O'Neil. Reports suggest that they have already reached a deal with Al-Shabab manager Vitor Pereira. Pereira is a highly experienced manager who has won two Primeira Liga titles with Porto and the Greek Super League with Olympiakos. His current team, Al-Shabab, is currently in sixth place in the Saudi Pro League with seven wins in 13 games.
O'Neil was not the only top-flight manager to lose his job on Sunday, as Southampton also parted ways with their manager Russell Martin following a 5-0 defeat against Tottenham. These recent changes have caused quite a stir in the football world, and only time will tell if they will have a positive impact on the teams' performances.
