Everton's relegation rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers suffered a 3-1 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League on Monday night. It was a loss that has sparked significant fallout at the Midlands club.

Goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke gave the London club a significant victory at Stamford Bridge. It pushed Chelsea back into fourth spot in the table and left Wolves only out of the bottom three on goal difference.

Everton are now four points clear of Vitor Pereira's side after their win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

After the game, questions were raised by some reporters over the actions of Wolves' star player Matheus Cunha, who was noticeably frustrated throughout the game. The forward, who has been linked with a January transfer, was also singled out by his manager in some candid analysis after the match.

"He can be frustrated as he wants to win, but everyone in the dressing room wants to win," he said, per BBC Sport.

"I don't like this body language. I want someone, as a captain, trying to help the team - running, suffering and fighting all together. But this is something I can understand. Next time, I won't understand."

Pereira was also asked about Cunha apparently leaving the pitch and not applauding the visiting support: "This is something I cannot understand.

"Again, it is the frustration - which I understand - but we need to be together. Together we can fix the problems and stay in the Premier League.

"If we start complaining about this and that, this is not the way. He is committed to Wolves but when you keep hearing about other clubs, then it is human [to be distracted].

"But he needs to put his mind on his targets and increase his level after injury and help his team again with his quality. The team needs him with good energy and not with frustration. He must slow down and put his mind in the right way."

However, the player himself has since dismissed those claims in a response to a reporter who suggested the same on X. "Liar," he said. "I went to applaud them, congratulated the referees and the opposing players. Then I went to the tunnel. Don't ever come and ask me to give you an interview again."
