Wolves moving towards Wembley final, thanks to Cunha's FA Cup victory against Blackburn
Wolves Advance in FA Cup, Cunha Shines
Wolves have made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons, following a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Matheus Cunha was the star of the show, scoring the opening goal within minutes of the start of the second half.
Cunha has been in exceptional form for Wolves, scoring in each of his last three FA Cup games. His latest goal came courtesy of an assist from Nelson Semedo, with Joao Gomes adding a second for the visitors in the first half. The goals came within 100 seconds of each other, effectively putting the game beyond Blackburn Rovers' reach.
The Brazilian striker has now scored 26 goals in all competitions for Wolves since the start of last season, more than any other player. Cunha expressed his enjoyment of playing for Wolves and his dream of playing at Wembley with the team. However, in the available search results, there are no direct quotes or detailed statements from Cunha specifically about his FA Cup final aspirations after his goal against Blackburn Rovers.
Despite this, his recent move to Manchester United, his playing role, and his form suggest strong ambitions for competing and winning major trophies like the FA Cup with his new club. Cunha has been involved in pre-season with Manchester United, though he missed a friendly against Bournemouth due to fatigue, indicating he is being managed carefully as he integrates into his new club.
For Blackburn Rovers, Dominic Hyam's goal was ruled out for a tight offside, and they remain sixth in the Championship. Manager John Eustace, who has been linked with a return to Derby County, acknowledged that he has been linked with jobs throughout the season, attributing it to the efforts of the group. Eustace stated that conversations about his future with the owners would be had, but his focus remains on the West Brom game on Wednesday.
Eustace came to Blackburn Rovers when they were on the way down, but now they are on the way up, he said. The team will be hoping to continue their upward trajectory in their next match and secure a place in the FA Cup's latter stages.
Matheus Cunha, in exceptional form for Wolves, wishes to play at Wembley with the team, as he scores in European-league matches like the FA Cup, such as his latest goal against Blackburn Rovers in the Premier-League. Despite his impending move to Manchester United, Cunha's recent form and role suggest strong ambitions for competing and winning major trophies, including the FA Cup.
