Matheus Cunha’s impressive 14th goal of the season led Wolverhampton Wanderers to a narrow 1-0 victory over 10-man Bournemouth in a crucial Premier League match on Saturday. This win moved Wolves five points clear of the relegation zone, maintaining their position in 17th place with 22 points from 26 matches.
Bournemouth, who played with a man down after a sending-off, remained in fifth place with 43 points, equal on points with Chelsea, who were set to play later against Aston Villa. Cunha expressed satisfaction with the victory, acknowledging the challenges faced while playing against a reduced squad. “It is so hard to play without one player, and we knew we needed to be intelligent and better with the ball. We worked and had some luck to win,” he stated.
Despite not having their best game, Cunha emphasized the importance of securing the three points, which could prove vital in their battle against relegation. This victory follows Wolves’ earlier struggles this season, including a tough loss against Newcastle United, where they squandered an early lead. The win over Bournemouth reflects a potential turning point for Wolverhampton as they look to climb further away from the drop zone.
As they gain momentum, Wolves can take encouragement from this victory and strive for continued improvement in their upcoming fixtures. The resilience displayed against Bournemouth is a testament to their determination to fight for survival in the league, offering hope to fans for a better run in the next matches.
