Cunha's Red Card Costs Wolves in FA Cup Exit

Wolves faced a disappointing FA Cup exit after losing to Bournemouth on penalties, compounded by the sending off of star forward Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian, who scored to equalize the match, was dismissed for violent conduct after clashing with defender Milos Kerkez in the 120th minute, which will result in a suspension for at least three Premier League matches. Head coach Vitor Pereira attributed Cunha's actions to the high emotional stakes of the game, acknowledging the pressure on players during such moments. This incident marks Cunha's second disciplinary issue this season, following a previous suspension stemming from an altercation with Ipswich Town staff. Pereira emphasized the need to address emotions constructively in the aftermath of the incident, indicating the team's resilience moving forward. With Cunha sidelined, Wolves face critical upcoming matches that could impact their relegation battle.
