LONDON — Wolverhampton striker Matheus Cunha has been charged with misconduct after the Brazil international was seen barging into a member of Ipswich's security team and grabbing the person's glasses during an on-field melee following a Premier League match. Cunha was at the center of chaotic post-match scenes after Wolves conceded a stoppage-time goal to lose 2-1 to Ipswich at Molineux on Saturday. Cunha has scored eight goals and been the best player this season for a Wolves team that is in next-to-last place in the league and just fired its manager. Cunha will likely face a suspension if found guilty following the Football Association charge. Cunha has until Thursday to provide a response.
