Red-Hot Wolves Roar Past Leicester to Seal Historic Sixth Straight Win

Wolverhampton Wanderers kept their stunning Premier League surge alive, brushing aside a struggling Leicester City 3-0 at Molineux to rack up a sixth consecutive league win — a feat the club hasn’t achieved in over half a century.

The turnaround under Vítor Pereira has been nothing short of remarkable. His reign started with a 3-0 victory at the King Power Stadium back in December, and since then, Wolves have powered their way to 26 points, while Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Foxes have stumbled, picking up a miserable four.

From the first whistle, Wolves looked the sharper side. Brazilian duo Matheus Cunha and André threatened early on, with Cunha dragging a shot wide from distance and André nearly punishing a loose clearance from Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen. The warning signs were clear.

Wolves turned up the heat midway through the first half. Hermansen had to be alert to deny Cunha again, and Rayan Aït-Nouri’s close-range effort was hacked off the line. The breakthrough felt inevitable — and it arrived thanks to a slick move. Aït-Nouri picked out Cunha, who coolly slotted into the far corner to give the home side a deserved lead.

Cunha nearly turned provider just before the break, whipping a dangerous ball across the six-yard box, but Jørgen Strand Larsen couldn’t convert at the near post.

Van Nistelrooy rang the changes at half-time, throwing on fresh legs, but Wolves refused to take their foot off the gas. Cunha continued to torment the visitors, drawing another smart save from Hermansen. Moments later, Wolves doubled their lead. A rapid counter-attack saw Cunha slide a clever ball into Strand Larsen, and the Danish forward made no mistake, slotting in his 13th league goal of the campaign.

Leicester’s misery could have been eased when Jamie Vardy, playing in one of his final games for the club after 13 unforgettable years, earned a penalty. But José Sá guessed right, diving superbly to deny the Foxes legend his 199th goal for the club.

There was still time for Wolves to add further gloss to the scoreline. Rodrigo Gomes, another bright spark, raced through after a deft pass from Cunha and tucked home a third to cap a memorable afternoon for the Old Gold.

The victory not only completed Wolves’ first league double over Leicester since 1957/58, but also lifted them up to 13th after an incredible run of 25 points from their last 11 games.

As for Leicester, it’s been a season to forget — a tenth defeat in their last 11 league outings confirms their relegation, ending a once-glorious chapter with a whimper.
