News about Matheus Cunha

Wolves forward Matheus Cunha admitted the amount of refereeing decisions going against his side this season felt like it was 'not fair'. They were at the centre of more VAR controversy in Wednesday night's 1-0 defeat to 10-man Bournemouth when under-fire referee Stuart Attwell ruled out Hee Chan Hwang's second-half goal for an off-the-ball incident involving Cunha and Justin Kluivert. It was not spotted in real time nor did it look to be interfering with play, but Attwell had little choice but to overlook it once he had been advised to go to the pitchside monitor by VAR Darren England.

Wolves supporters thought their side has earned at least a point when Hwang Hee-chan netted 20 minutes from time at Molineux on Wednesday night, only for the goal to be ruled out after a VAR review. Hwang headed in from Nelson Semedo's cross, but Attwell (left), after being recommended to double check the build-up at the monitor, blew for a foul by Matheus Cunha on Justin Kluivert (right), ruling out the goal and equaliser.

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil offered his sympathy to referee Stuart Attwell after the beleaguered match official was embroiled in more controversy in Bournemouth's 1-0 win at Molineux. Attwell has been in the spotlight for his role as VAR in denying Nottingham Forest three penalties in Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Everton, which led Forest to insinuate bias as he supports relegation rivals Luton. And controversy followed him around after he adjudged Matheus Cunha to have fouled Justin Kluivert in an off-the-ball incident in the build-up to Hee Chan Hwang's second-half equaliser, which looked to have cancelled out Antoine Semenyo's first-half opener.

TIM NASH: Wolves are poised to play a 15-year-old schoolboy against Arsenal on Saturday after he skipped a science lesson on Friday to prepare to face the Premier League title challengers. Right back Wes Okoduwa would become Wolves' youngest player at 15 years, 344 days, with the hosts having only 10 fit senior outfield players. Craig Dawson, Nelson Semedo, Matheus Cunha, Pedro Neto and Jean-Ricard Bellegarde are all out, Hwang Hee-chan and Rayan Ait-Nouri aren't fit enough to start and Mario Lemina and Pablo Sarabia are nursing knocks.

The best young defender in Europe might be relegated at the end of the season but Murillo is heading for the Champions League not the Championship. Nottingham Forest's Brazilian centre-back has been a shining light in a hugely difficult season for the club, which is poised on a knife edge. One point clear of Luton and with fixtures against fellow strugglers Everton, Burnley and Sheffield United to come, at least Forest's future is in their hands. They are also appealing against the four-point deduction for breaking spending rules which has plunged them into trouble.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CITY GROUND: Nottingham Forest's Premier League future may be determined in the boardoom as well as on the pitch but if they are relegated they will regret dropping two points here for many months. Leading 2-1 just after the hour mark, Forest's chronic inability to defend set pieces undid them again and Matheus Cunha - making his first start since February - turned in his second goal of the game. Cunha had given Wolves the lead with one of the goals of the season but Morgan Gibbs-White levelled against his former club just before the interval and Danilo put them in front soon after it.

JOE BERNSTEIN: After a string of late-night phone calls to manager Gary O'Neil imploring to play, Wolves striker Matheus Cunha will return to play against Burnley on Tuesday. Cunha was supposed to be out for a month after tearing his hamstring on February 10, but he has returned to full fitness and even requested to play in his team's recent matches against Coventry and Aston Villa. Despite O'Neil's that this was too soon for the 24-year-old Brazilian national, he has announced that he would be on Turf Moor.

Ellis Simms and Haji Wright's injury time converts loss into victory, allowing the Championship team to spring a big surprise at Molineux. Early in the second half, Simms had led Coventry to lead, but Wolves were able to stoppage time due to late strikes from Rayan Ait-Nouri and replacement Hugo Bueno. However, Wolves could not bring it home without injured forwards Pedro Neto, Matheus Cunha, and Hwang Hee-chan, and Robins admitted that Wolves' absences gave his team the edge.

After a spectacular first season in charge, Gary O'Neil will be given a new deal by Wolves with significant compensation increase. Bournemouth's former chief took the reins less than a week before the season got underway, with nearly £150 million worth of talent sold by the end of August. His initial mission was simply to keep Wolves in the Premier League in the face of financial uncertainty. However, O'Neil has been so good that Wolves have a slim chance of qualifying for Europe next season. They currently sit 10th in the table, four points behind West Ham in seventh, and they will qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals against Championship club Coventry at Molineux next Saturday.

VIEW EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY OLIVER HOLT CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Gary O'Neil knocks on the door before entering the Wolverham Wanderers training ground's spartan meeting room. It's only a small detail. However, most Premier League bosses would not be knocked. They wouldn't be concerned. They didn't check until they marched in. Let's face it: Most Premier League managers will need someone to open the door for them. Another small detail. Some people have noted that the plain top O'Neil is wearing is black. It's black, and the photographer has said it will go with the background for the portrait of O'Neil, which he is planning to photograph. The top is a dark navy, as O'Neil points out. Not because he's some sort of fashionista. As a matter of fact, it's just as a matter of fact. If it's important, it might be worthwhile. Because it is a specific matter. And the fine details. It's all about the details. It's one of the things that distinguishes him as he starts a new full season as a boss in the Premier League. He knows that about himself. He is proud of it. He prides himself on his preparations, emphasizing how he makes sure his players are safe for whatever comes. He has got it covered in case of an emergency.

After being ruled out of Brazil's friendly against England next month, Matheus Cunha faces a fight to play in the final weeks of Wolves season. In the home loss to Brentford earlier this month, the forward suffered a hamstring injury, but Wolves will not specify a timeframe. However, Brazil coach Dorival Junior announced that Cunha would not be available for the games against England and Spain on March 23 or 26 respectively.

During Friday's Premier League loss to Brentford, Wolves forward Matheus Cunha sustained a "fairly significant" hamstring injury, according to boss Gary O'Neil. Following an awkward fall at Molineux, the 24-year-old Brazilian - hat-trick hero in Chelsea's victory on February 4 - went off after just 19 minutes and has since undergone scans. Cunha's recovery hasn't been recorded, but O'Neil has confirmed that his absence is a 'big blow'.

TARA ANSON-WALSH AT MOLINEUX: Brentford clinched a critical three points at Molineux today, with goals from Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney leading the Bees up to 14th place in the table ahead of a difficult stretch of games for the south-west London team. Thomas Frank's side traveled to the Black Country today with just nine victories from their last 11 games and without a clean sheet since October. However, the home team faced their normal attacking threat with the anticipated return of Hwang Hee-Chan and last weekend's hat-trick hero, Matheus Cunha, forced off in the 20th minute after tweaking his hamstring.

As part of Sky Bet's 'Premier League Player Stat Accas' market for selected games taking place today, they are offering a 'Price Boost'. Previously 7/1, you can now bet 9/1 for 'Cunha, Nunez, and Richarlison, who have all shot on target.' Across their last two Premier League games, each player has had five or more shots on target. In addition, the three performers have shot in the English top-flight this season for an impressive 82 shots on target.

Mauricio Pochettino said that his remarks after Chelsea's 4-2 loss to Wolves had been taken out of context. Following Stamford Bridge Pochettino's loss, the team was not strong enough in the tournament, having been defeated roundly and leapfrogged by Gary O'Neil's side. Chelsea had taken the lead through Cole Palmer early in the game, but visitors were quickly put on top thanks to a hat-trick from Matheus Cunha and an Axel Disasi own goal.

Mauricio Pochettino will hold his press conference on Tuesday, implying that his job is still safe amid growing scrutiny following Wolves' humiliating loss. Chelsea is off to Villa Park on Wednesday to face the FA Cup fourth round, trying to prevent the rot from crashing and suffering from a 4-2 loss at Stamford Bridge that saw them booed off the field. Matheus Cunha's hat-trick and Axel Disasi's own goal put Cole Palmer's opener out before he scored a late consolation for the Blues.

After Chelsea's 4-2 loss to Wolves at Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino apologized to fans, and said his players were "not strong enough" in the game. After Chelsea's humiliating at Anfield on Wednesday night, the Blues were undone at Stamford Bridge by a hat-trick from Matheus Cunha, for the second time in a week. It has heightened the stress on Chelsea's manager, and he's said sorry to the Chelsea supporters who were vocal in their disapproving of the match during and after the game.

2-4 WOLVES – RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Chelsea lost four points in a humiliating loss in a two-week period, but not against Liverpool away. This was not against the leading party in the conflict. No, this was at home, in their sanctuary, against a side that is simply superb, well-trained, and pulling in a single direction. And therein lie the main differences with Chelsea. They are a spineless team. A tumultuous, whiney team. A team in need of leadership and expertise was demoted to a squabble-down, howling mess by Wolves.

Wolves beat Stamford Bridge 4-2, with Matheus Cunha's hat-trick leading to Chelsea's relegated to the bottom of the Premier League table. Cole Palmer's goal had his side winning their fifth home league victory in a row after he slotted in after 19 minutes. Gary O'Neil's crew overruled everything, with Cunha leading the way, but Chelsea will be regretful for two big deflections in the first half, one of which was given as an own goal against Axel Disasi.

Matheus Cunha's side's season hit a new low this season, putting them into the bottom half of the Premier League after losing, which culminated in Matheus Cunha's career as a hat-trick. Fans in the stands booed the team at full throttle, with some people clearly furious in the stands as tensions continued to rise on Pochettino, who was only named at the start of the season. During the game, fans were outraged, with followers expressing their displeasure during play, with Raheem Sterling being escorted by portions of the home supporters when he was replaced by Mykhailo Mudryk after 72 minutes.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BIDGE: The Blues' mid-table war opened in the capital on Sunday as Chelsea hosted Wolves. Moises Caicedo's well-timed visit, it seemed as if the afternoon might bring Mauricio Pochettino's favor. However, Wolves shattered the Blues' hopes of rising above them in the table two minutes later when Matheus Cunha discovered the back of the net.

Chelsea and Wolves are set to meet today in the 97th minute at home after the Blues were hammered 4-1 by Anfield, while Wolves were surprisingly defeated 4-3 by Manchester United, who were firmly defeated 4-1 by Liverpool at Anfield. It's Mauricio Pochettino's team, who are the best-backed by the bookies, that will return to the winner's circle, with Chelsea odds-on at 8/15 to win at Stamford Bridge. In comparison, the visiting Wolves are 19/4 strangers. For those predicting a draw, the result is a ten-fold draw.

At Molineux Stadium, there are four 'Price Boosts'available for tonight's pivotal Premier League match between Wolves and Manchester United. The first two boosts we'll be reviewing are 'Casemiro to commit 2+ fouls' at 1/1, and 'Bruno Fernandes to have 2+ shots on target' at 7/2. Meanwhile, the two remaining boosts are 'Andre Onana to win 1+ fouls' at 6/1, and 'Matheus Cunha and Rasmus Hojlund both scored at 16/1.' In their team's most recent games, both Cunha and Hojlund score.

Clubs have their last chance to improve ahead of the rest of the season as we enter the final hours of the January transfer window. Teams at the top of the pack will be looking for titles and European qualification, while those at the bottom will be hoping that a new addition would keep them away from relegation problems. In the midst of several FFP probes, Everton and Nottingham Forest have been charged with breaching the top flight's financial laws this month, and it underscores the balancing act clubs must play to ensure immediate success with financial stability. However, there are still many deals in the offing that will run right up to the 11 p.m. deadline on Thursday, with some players facing uncertain futures.
