Cunha's sublime double gives Wolves 4-1 comeback win at Fulham
LONDON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Matheus Cunha's superb double earned Wolves a 4-1 comeback victory at Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, extending the visitors' unbeaten run to four games.
Fulham took a deserved lead after 20 minutes with Alex Iwobi curling home an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box, before Cunha equalised 11 minutes later with a calm finish after he beautifully controlled Mario Lamina's ball over the top.
Joao Gomes scored eight minutes after the restart to give the visitors a lead they rarely looked like conceding and Cunha another fine goal in the 87th minute before substitute Goncalo Guedes completed the rout in stoppage time.
Wolves' second league win of the season put them on nine points from 12 games and provisionally into 17th place, while defeat dropped Fulham to ninth with 18 points. (Reporting by Sam Tobin, editing by Ed Osmond)
