Wolves forward Cunha charged with misconduct


Wolves striker Matheus Cunha has been charged with misconduct by the FA following an incident after the full-time whistle against Ipswich.

Jack Taylor scored with the last attack of Saturday’s game to hand Ipswich a huge win over their relegation rivals.

Cunha was involved in an altercation with an Ipswich member of staff after the game and the FA have charged the forward for acting “in an improper manner”. He has until Thursday December 19 to provide a response.

Cunha’s team-mate Rayan Ait-Nouri, who was shown a second yellow card after the whistle, also had to be dragged down the tunnel after clashing with Ipswich’s Wes Burns.

The match proved to be Gary O’Neil’s last game in charge, with Wolves announcing his departure early the next morning.

Asked after the game about the incident involving Ait-Nouri, O’Neil said: “I haven’t seen it. I have just been told he received a second yellow. I spoke to him during the game.

“We are under a lot of pressure. We are trying to push the group beyond our level and you can’t get yourself in trouble. We are stretched as it is. We need Rayan and now we don’t have him. I will deal with that internally.”

The ugly incidents came only five days after Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina was stripped of the captaincy following a post-match altercation with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen. Lemina was dragged away after shoving two team-mates and first-team coach Shaun Derry.

Wolves’ indiscipline this season also saw goalkeeper Jose Sa climb into the North Bank at Molineux to argue with fans at half-time of the 4-2 defeat to Bournemouth last month.

Ait-Nouri was already set to be suspended for Saturday’s game at Leicester after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in the first half of the defeat to Ipswich.

But he will now miss that game because of his red card and still return on four bookings – one more yellow card away from another ban.
