Matheus Cunha sends humble message after hat-trick for Wolves in 4-2 win over Chelsea
Cunha has wasted little time checking in with supporters following his sensational performance today.
The Brazilian social media and will have taken great satisfaction posting about today’s win and his hat-trick.
The 24-year-old has posted a few pictures from today’s game, and sent a typically humble message. He wrote: “THANK YOU, to all of you who have been supporting me at every moment. You are in charge of your future. I love being here and sharing the field with these guys, this staff and these fans.”
There have already been lots of responses to Cunha’s post from fans.
Some footballers have also commented, including some of Cunha’s Brazil teammates that play in the Premier League.
£40 million Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes wrote ‘SO HAPPY FOR YOU BRO’, and even Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr also sent his show of support to the Wolves man.
What a player, what a person
This was one of the best performances of the season from any Wolves player, potentially the best bar none.
Cunha was sensational against Chelsea, and only three other players have ever scored a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League – Nwankwo Kanu, Robin van Persie and Sergio Aguero. Not only did he score three goals, he also contested the most duels of any player on the field.
It was a special performance, from a player who just gets better and better for Wolves.
He has made huge progress under O’Neil, who must take serious credit for what he has done with the player.
It’s so good to see Cunha thriving at Wolves. He has always been an extremely likable person and his humility is evident in his latest social media post, and it’s certainly hard not to root for someone like him.
