  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Wolves simply cannot steer clear of controversial moments this season amid their disastrous start to the Premier League campaign. The Wolverhampton-based side are stuck down in 19th place after their loss to fellow relegation battlers Ipswich Town, as Jack Taylor scored in injury time to give Gary O'Neil's side their 11th loss in 16 league clashes. After that contest a scuffle broke out with Cunha getting involved as he put his hands on a member of Portman Road's security team, who had been attempting to calm the situation, and ripping glasses from his face in the process.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The scuffle started as Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri was shown a second yellow after losing his temper. The Mirror has now reported that Cunha could face a potential investigation by the English Football Association (FA) and may be stung with severe punishment for his attack on the Ipswich Town security staff member, depending on whether referee Simon Hooper includes the incident in his match report. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean told Sky Sports that Cunha could be in trouble, saying: "Going back to the suspension. Cunha, the biggest player that they’ve got. I’ve watched the footage back afterwards. He elbows the back of the head of one of the Ipswich coaches. Then he pulls his glasses off and throws them to the pitch. For me, I think he’ll be in trouble with the FA."
