Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is facing a ban after being charged by the FA for his part in a post-match brawl following Ipswich Town's 2-1 win at Molineux.

Cunha bagged the equaliser in the second half of the match after Matt Doherty's own goal put the Blues ahead early on. However, Jack Taylor's stoppage time header saw the visitors claim all three points in dramatic fashion.

For the second game in a row, Wolves were involved in a post-match brawl that started when Wes Burns and Rayan Ait-Nouri had to be separated, leading to the latter receiving a second yellow card.

Referee Simon Hooper didn't spot Cunha, however, who was caught delivering a blow to the back of the head of an Ipswich security guard before reaching out and pulling his glasses off his face.

The FA have since confirmed that the 25-year-old has been charged for 'misconduct', having 'allegedly acted in an improper manner after the final whistle'.

Cunha has been given until Thursday, December 19th, to provide a response.
