Wolves manager Gary O'Neil says there is "no limit" to Matheus Cunha's potential after the Brazilian scored two sensational goals in a thumping Premier League win over Fulham.

Cunha cancelled out Alex Iwobi's brilliant opener at Craven Cottage with a wonderful strike of his own, controlling Mario Lemina's long ball with his first touch before lifting a delicate finish over goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Joao Gomes put the visitors in front after the break, before Cunha curled another magnificent effort into the far corner and Goncalo Guedes added a late fourth on the counter-attack to seal a victory which moved Wolves out of the relegation zone.

"Everyone knows how important [Cunha] is to us," O'Neil said of the 25-year-old, whose 10 top-flight goal involvements this season are bettered only by Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka.

"His numbers, his hunger, his willingness to do the other side of it [off the ball] - he’s come on so much.

"I love working with him. He can be a top player. He works every day to be as good as he can be. This was Matheus' best out-of-possession performance I've seen from him.

"Bernardo Silva and Martin Odegaard are top without the ball - Matheus' numbers are as good as anybody's.

"There's no limit to where he can get to, ability wise. He's going to stay at Wolves for as long as possible firstly, but after that there's no limit to where he can go."

Both teams struggled for fluency in the early stages on a a wet and windy day, but former Wolves striker Raul Jimenez should have given Fulham the lead three minutes before Iwobi's strike when he turned Antonee Robinson's low cross against the crossbar from point-blank range.

Second-half substitute Harry Wilson was unfortunate to see a curling shot strike the top of the bar with the score at 2-1, but Cunha's second goal of the contest and Guedes' stoppage-time drive brought Fulham's winning league run to a shuddering halt.
