Wolverhampton Wanderers achieved their first victory in the English Premier League after a challenging stretch of 11 games, triumphing over Southampton with a score of 2-0 on Saturday. This result relieved some of the mounting pressure on manager Gary O’Neil and helped the team move off the bottom of the league standings.

Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha played a pivotal role in the match, delivering an assist to Pablo Sarabia, who scored in the second minute. Cunha later netted a goal himself in the second half, contributing significantly to Wolverhampton’s success at Molineux Stadium. Meanwhile, Southampton’s struggles continued as they fell to the last position in the table, suffering losses in nine out of their eleven matches since their return to the Premier League.

Elsewhere, Fulham showcased their strong form this season by overcoming a ten-man Crystal Palace team with a dominant 3-0 victory. Emile Smith Rowe was the first to find the net, and Harry Wilson added two more goals late in the game after Palace’s Daichi Kamada received a red card. This win allowed Fulham to equal Chelsea on points, sitting in a competitive position in the league.

Brentford managed to recover from a recent loss by edging Bournemouth 3-2, with Yoane Wissa shining by scoring twice. Mikkel Damsgaard’s goal in the 50th minute proved to be the decisive factor in the match.

In another fixture, West Ham and Everton played to a goalless draw. England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made an exceptional save during stoppage time, ensuring Everton left with a valuable point.

As the day progressed, defending champions Manchester City were looking to turn their fortunes around after suffering three consecutive defeats. They were set to face Brighton, while league leaders Liverpool prepared to welcome Aston Villa in a highly anticipated match.
