Wolves played host to Brighton in the Premier League in their penultimate home game of the 2024/25 campaign.
The Wanderers were beaten 1-0 by Man City last weekend, seeing their six-match winning run come to an end at the Etihad.
And just when Vitor Pereira ordered a response from his players, Wolves lost successive Premier League games for the first time since the end of January.
Mateus Cunha clumsily gave away a penalty in the first half, which Danny Welbeck dispatched, and then Brajan Gruda doubled the visitors’ lead late on.
Wolves did push till the very end to score, but unfortunately didn’t have enough in the tank to put one past Bart Verbruggen, with supporters aiming their anger towards one player post-match.
Wolves fans were annoyed at Marshall Munetsi against Brighton
Cunha, who is closing in on a move to Manchester United, disappointed the fans with his performance against the Seagulls.
But Marshall Munetsi was even worse than the Brazilian, and supporters couldn’t contain their anger after he somehow survived 90 minutes for the second week running.
“How has Munetsi played 90 again,” one fan wrote.
“Munetsi, worst footballer to play for Wolves!” someone else exclaimed while a third replied: “Tried to give it time but I’m not a Munetsi fan.”
“What’s Vitor’s fascination with Munetsi?” another questioned after not substituting him while a sixth commented: “Other teams will overtake us now, 13th to 16 looking likely shambles, Munetsi, Nathan sorry he’s clearly not good enough.”
“Also can’t understand what Munetsi is offering in some games. How was he not subbed today? Offered nothing,” one supporter claimed.

Munetsi’s stats vs Brighton are grim
Last Friday, Wolves fans criticised Munetsi against Man City after he misplaced five of his 12 passes.
Against Brighton, the 28-year-old was arguably worse as he failed to bring any quality to the game and was a headless chicken out of possession.
Marshall Munetsi’s stats vs Brighton
- 90 minutes played
- 0 successful dribbles
- 7/13 accurate passes (54%)
- Possession lost 8 times
- 2 fouls
- 2 shots off target
As demonstrated by the above statistics, fans were right to question how he remained on the pitch, with Pereira’s decision being put under the spotlight once more.
