Wolves’ survival hopes and Gary O’Neil’s job security are intrinsically linked to the form of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian created one and scored another here to secure a first league victory of the season and take the pressure off his manager for the time being at least.
Cunha’s quality was the difference between two underwhelming sides. Southampton’s problem is scoring goals and they brought a rubber spoon to a knife fight to hand Wolves a first Premier League clean sheet of the season as they doubled their points tally thanks Pablo Sarabia and Cunha.
