Wolverhampton Wanderers moved five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone as they claimed a battling 1-0 win over 10-man AFC Bournemouth. Matheus Cunha was the difference-maker at the Vitality Stadium, where he lashed home in the 36th minute.

This represented a missed opportunity for Bournemouth to boost their Champions League prospects against opponents who had collected just one win in their previous six league games. And while the Cherries were understandably hindered by the dismissal of Illia Zabarnyi in the 31st minute there was still a sense of being underwhelmed by a performance that delivered just a single second-half shot against a Wolves side battling for their Premier League survival.

Matheus Cunha’s fourth goal in as many games gave Wolves a massive 1-0 win at Bournemouth, helping them edge closer to survival in the Premier League.
