Watch: Cunha's Olimpico helps Wolves beat toothless Man United
Manchester United's vulnerability from set pieces was on full display once again on Boxing Day.
Exactly one week after Son Heung-min scored directly from a corner kick in Tottenham Hotspur's League Cup victory over the Red Devils, Matheus Cunha replicated the feat in Premier League action Thursday.
The Brazilian forward found the net with an Olimpico of his own in Wolverhampton Wanderers' eventual 2-0 win at Molineux, helping to lift his team to a second successive win under new coach Vitor Pereira while piling more misery on Ruben Amorim.
