This represented a missed opportunity for Bournemouth to boost their Champions League prospects against opponents who had collected just one win in their previous six league games.And while the Cherries were understandably hindered by the dismissal of Illia Zabarnyi in the 31st minute there was still a sense of being underwhelmed by a performance that delivered just a single second-half shot against a Wolves side battling for their Premier League survival.

Matheus Cunha's 14th Premier League goal of the season earned Wolverhampton Wanderers a 1-0 win over 10-man Bournemouth on Saturday, pulling Vitor Pereira's side five points clear of the relegation zone.

The save would prove crucial as a minute later Wolves led. Joao Gomes knocked a short pass back to Semedo who swung over a cross that bamboozled Bournemouth’s defence. Dean Huijsen miscalculated, attempting to clear with his head when his foot might have served, and allowed the ball to reach Cunha in space who swept it high into the net.
