Former Premier League defender Micah Richards spoke to BBC Match of the Day about Matheus Cunha's performance in Saturday's victory over Southampton:

"Gary O'Neil talked about getting him to to a position where he can affect the game and he was sort of playing as a left-centre.

"His football IQ is absolutely sensational. He's the one who can unlock the doors. He finds the little pockets of space and makes the right decisions at the right times.

"He's always scanning where he needs to be and always plays the right pass. He is so key in what Wolves are trying to do. He is the best at everything.

"Off the ball, he can do a little bit more - but on the ball, he is certainly the main man in this team."
