Wolves dominate Leicester with a convincing 3-0 victory at Molineux Stadium
In a commanding performance, Wolverhampton Wanderers dispatched Leicester City with a comprehensive 3-0 win at Molineux Stadium on Saturday afternoon, further highlighting the Foxes' struggles this season.
Matheus Cunha was the star of the show, opening the scoring in the 33rd minute with a precise effort after receiving the ball from Rayan Aït Nouri. Despite Leicester’s tactical changes, including three second-half substitutions right after the break, they were unable to find their footing.
The second half saw Wolves extend their lead as Jørgen Strand Larsen doubled the advantage in the 56th minute, this time assisted by Cunha, whose creativity was pivotal throughout the match. Leicester's attempts to respond were ultimately stifled, culminating in a missed penalty by Jamie Vardy shortly after the hour mark, a moment that typified the Foxes' woes on the day.
Adding insult to injury for Leicester, Rodrigo Gomes sealed the scoreline with a well-timed finish in the 85th minute, again assisted by Cunha, marking a stellar display from the Brazilian who recorded two assists and a goal.
In contrast, Leicester managed only two shots on target from a total of eight attempts, a stark reminder of their prolific struggles this season. The Foxes now face a daunting challenge as they attempt to salvage their campaign, having failed to break through a resolute Wolves defense that limited their chances significantly.
With Wolves having a solid grip on the match, the outcome not only boosts their quest for a strong finish this season but also intensifies Leicester’s battle to find form amid their relegation worries, having now confirmed their fate for the 2025/26 Championship. The pressure mounts for the Foxes, who will need to regroup quickly to find a way back to winning ways.
