Matheus underlines class for Vitor's record-chasers
MATHEUS CUNHA scored one goal and set up two more as Wolves claimed a record-equalling sixth successive top-flight win as they put relegated Leicester to the sword.
October 1970 was the last time Wolves had won six in a row in the top division and their upward trajectory hit new heights under the leadership of Vitor Pereira as they climbed to 13th in the table.
Leicester, in contrast, saw their winless run stretch to 11 matches while Jamie Vardy - who announced this week he would leave the Foxes at the end of the season - missed a second-half penalty on another miserable day for the visitors.
Cunha's potential summer move to Manchester United dominated talk in the build-up to the match but the Wolves talisman showed his importance to Pereira and his side when he knocked in his 15th goal of the campaign for the opener after 33 minutes.
The Brazilian then turned creator for Wolves' next two goals.
