Cunha leads Wolves to their sixth consecutive victory over Leicester

At Molineux, where Jamie Vardy's second-half penalty was disallowed, the Brazilian scored and contributed two assists as the comeback hosts continued their winning run in the tournament. After Wolves defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford last Saturday, they were guaranteed a spot in the top division, and Cunha snapped the tie with a close-range finish for his 15th league goal of the season. After the interval, the Brazilian then provided for Rodrigo Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen, condemning the Foxes to their tenth loss in eleven games.

Leicester stays in 19th position, while Vitor Pereira's team moves up to 13th spot, surpassing Everton and Manchester United, who face AFC Bournemouth on Sunday. In the 70th minute, Vardy was taken down by Jose Sa in the area, giving Leicester a lifeline. Five minutes from the end, the hosts had the last say as replacement Gomes completed a quick counter with a clean finish from a Cunha feed to secure the win.
