Cunha dismantles Leicester in sixth successive win for Wolves

WOLVERHAMPTON, England :Wolverhampton Wanderers extended their remarkable winning run to six Premier League games as Matheus Cunha scored one goal and set up two others in a comfortable 3-0 win over relegated Leicester City at Molineux on Saturday.

Wolves' superb form has propelled them away from the relegation zone and into 13th in the table with 41 points from 34 games. Leicester are in 19th with 18 points from the same number of fixtures.

Cunha’s side-footed finished on 33 minutes gave the hosts a deserved lead, before Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes added almost identical goals in the second half, both put on a plate by the brilliant Brazilian.

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy missed a penalty - in the week in which he announced he was leaving the club - at the end of the campaign after 13 seasons as the hapless visitors slipped to a 17th loss in their last 19 league matches.
