'I will NOT understand it next time' - Matheus Cunha sent savage 'body language' warning by Wolves boss after Chelsea defeat

Tosin Adarabioyo handed the Blues an early lead before Matt Doherty equalised for Wolves at the stroke of half-time in Monday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. Marc Cucurella then put the hosts back in the lead on the hour mark before Noni Madueke sealed the game with a third goal. The win took Chelsea to fourth position as they went past Manchester City in the league table. The visitors, on the other hand, remain in 17th and are just above the relegation zone on better goal difference.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira was left frustrated with the result and was particularly unhappy with star attacker Matheus Cunha's attitude on the pitch. He raised questions about Cunha's poor 'body language' and issued a firm warning towards the player. Last month, Cunha was handed a two-game ban by the FA for violent conduct after their loss against Ipswich Town.

Speaking to reporters after the match, the Wolves manager said: "He’s a captain. He can be frustrated as he wants to win but everyone in the dressing room wants to win. I don’t like his body language. I understand it now, I won’t understand it next time."

It was a much-needed victory for Enzo Maresca's side, who headed into the game on the back of a five-game winless run. The Blues will next face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash on Saturday at Etihad Stadium.
