Wolves took a significant step toward Premier League safety, climbing five points clear of the relegation zone with a crucial win at the Vitality Stadium.
Matheus Cunha delivered the decisive goal, helping Vitor Pereira’s side continue their impressive resurgence under his leadership.
However, beyond Wolves’ determined performance, much of the post-match discussion revolved around the controversial red card shown to Bournemouth’s Illia Zabarnyi.
Following an eventful encounter on the South Coast, here’s a roundup of the latest Wolves news as the club prepares for another crucial Premier League week.
Matheus Cunha Delivers Strong Messages After Bournemouth Win
Matheus Cunha was once again at the center of Wolves’ success, dazzling with his performance and netting his 13th goal of the season in the process.
After the match, the Brazilian forward urged his teammates to maintain greater consistency to secure safety.
Additionally, he took the opportunity to send a direct message to fellow Wolves player Pedro Lima.
Pundits Weigh in on Zabarnyi’s Red Card Controversy
The match wasn’t without its share of drama, as Cunha also weighed in on the contentious decision to dismiss Zabarnyi for his foul on Rayan Aït-Nouri.
Initially given a yellow card, the defender saw his punishment upgraded to a straight red after a VAR review.
The decision sparked debate, with former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett questioning the call—an opinion echoed by BBC Match of the Day pundits, who also believed the dismissal was excessive.

Despite Wolves securing all three points, not everything went smoothly for Pereira on the touchline.
The manager was visibly frustrated during the match, with one of his biggest sources of irritation being none other than his captain, Nelson Semedo.
At one point, Pereira was seen shouting at the right-back, underlining a tense moment despite the team’s overall success.
