Wolves Smash Club Record With Sixth Straight Premier League Win as Cunha Shines
Wolves Rewrite History: Six Premier League Wins in a Row
The air at Molineux was electric as Wolves brushed off relegated Leicester City with a 3-0 rout, matching a record that dates back over fifty years. If there’s a single face that sums up Wolves’ transformation lately, it’s Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward wasn’t just everywhere on the pitch—he scored, created, taunted defenders, and lifted his team to a sixth consecutive Premier League win, a feat last achieved by Wolves way back in 1970.
Let’s break down how Wolves got it done. In the 33rd minute, Cunha’s persistence finally paid off. After a dazzling solo dribble that almost saw him open the scoring, he found the net off a pinpoint cross from Rayan Ait-Nouri. That was his fifth strike in just seven games, but he wasn’t content to stop there. Into the second half, he set up Jorgen Strand Larsen with a slick low cross in the 56th minute, and later, when Leicester’s defense all but handed it to him, he teed up Rodrigo Gomes for the third goal in the 85th.
Cunha Leads the Charge as Leicester Falter
On the other side, it was a night that summed up Leicester’s miserable campaign. Jamie Vardy—a club legend about to say goodbye after thirteen years—had his shot at a lifeline in the 72nd minute. Yet, his penalty was kept out by Wolves keeper Jose Sa, a save that felt like the final chapter of a tough season for the Foxes. The moment was telling. Vardy, so often Leicester's savior, couldn't turn things around this time, and the traveling fans knew their fate was already sealed.
The impact of Vitor Pereira on this Wolves squad can’t be overstated. His arrival brought new life to a team that looked stuck in neutral just a couple of months ago. Suddenly, Wolves aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving, pulling off memorable results including a win against Manchester United. They’ve surged to 13th in the standings, leaving fans dreaming again, which would’ve seemed almost impossible before their remarkable run.
There’s something different in the way Wolves move and press now. Cunha, always dangerous when running at defenders, seems to set the tone. The players around him have stepped up: Ait-Nouri looking more expressive down the left, Strand Larsen adapting quickly, and Gomes seizing his moment from the bench. Every goal today felt like a team effort built on confidence and chemistry.
As for Leicester, the penalty miss capped their 90 minutes of frustration. Their passes looked labored, and Vardy, despite flashes of the old fire, just couldn’t make a difference. It was clear which side had momentum and which was running on empty.
This result didn’t just hand Wolves three points; it etched this squad’s name alongside club legends from five decades ago. That’s not something anyone could have predicted before this hot streak—but right now, Wolves fans are just enjoying the ride.
