Cheers to Cunha as magic show leaves O'Neil future looking bright

- ALEX RICHARDS

BEFORE the international break, Matheus Cunha saved Gary O'Neil's job as Wolves boss.

And if Molineux's Brazilian magician can continue his scintillating form, O'Neil's position will be secure for some time.

Cunha's brilliance was too much for Fulham as he scored two magnificent goals and created another at a sodden, windswept Craven Cottage.

At times, as he led the Black Country club to back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since February, dragging them out of the relegation places, he looked like a 15-year-old who had been asked to play with the Under-12s. Too quick, too strong, too clever.

"He's a special player," said captain Mario Lemina. "We know it. And he's working really well for the team.

"He deserves all the praise he's being given, because he's unbelievable right now."
