The Brazil international allegedly left a member of the visiting team’s security crew with his spectacles damaged after an enraged altercation that was captured on camera following the 2-1 loss at Molineux. Ipswich has accused the 25-year-old of wrongdoing after anticipating that the FA would look into the situation.
Following Saturday, December 14’s Premier League encounter between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town, Matheus Cunha was charged for misconduct, according to a statement. It is alleged that the forward behaved improperly following the last whistle. His deadline to respond is Thursday, December 19.
In what turned out to be Gary O’Neil’s last game as manager of the team, Cunha had earlier scored his eighth Premier League goal of the year. After 16 months in the position, he was fired on Sunday. His successor is anticipated to be Vitor Pereira. Following a confrontation with Ipswich players, Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri was sent off with a second yellow card and then a red after the final whistle. He also had to be led down the tunnel. Cunha also appeared to take off his spectacles and was spotted sticking his hand in an Ipswich employee’s face.
Just five days had passed since Wolves’ Mario Lemina, got into a brawl with Jarrod Bowen of West Ham following the team’s 2-1 loss at the London Stadium. After pushing two Wolves teammates and first-team coach Shaun Derry, he had to be pulled away.
After that confrontation, Lemina lost his position as Wolves’ captain, and goalie Jose Sa also climbed into the North Bank at Molineux to dispute with supporters during halftime of the team’s 4-2 loss to Bournemouth late last month.
