Wolves: Matheus Cunha charged by FA after Bournemouth red card

Wolves striker Matheus Cunha has been charged by the Football Association after his red card in the FA Cup penalty shootout defeat at Bournemouth.

It is alleged Cunha “acted in an improper manner” after he was sent off for clashing with Cherries defender Milos Kerkez in the final minute of extra time.

The 25-year-old lashed out at Kerkez three times – fighting and kicking out at him before aiming a headbutt when the Hungary full-back got back to his feet.

Referee Sam Barrott eventually issued a red card but a furious Cunha had to be escorted and pushed down the tunnel.

The Brazil striker, who scored Wolves’ equaliser at the Vitality Stadium, has until Monday to respond.

Saturday’s game finished 1-1 after extra time, with Bournemouth winning 5-4 on penalties to progress to the quarter-finals.
