Cunha stuns Arsenal as United reignite title race
Wolverhampton forward Matheus Cunha shocked Arsenal with a late winner as Manchester United’s victory elsewhere reignited the Premier League title race on Sunday. Cunha struck in stoppage time at Molineux, handing Arsenal a damaging defeat that dented their push at the top, while United’s comeback win kept the pressure on the leaders.
Arsenal dominated possession but paid for missed chances, conceding from one of Wolves’ few clear attacks. “We controlled the game but lacked efficiency,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted after the match. Cunha called his goal “a moment of belief,” adding that Wolves “fought until the end.”
United boss Erik ten Hag said his side’s win showed “character at a crucial stage,” as Aston Villa also closed the gap with another solid victory, tightening an increasingly tense title battle.
