Wolves 3-0 Leicester City: Andre Steals the Show as Wolves Extend Premier League Winning Run to Six
Molineux was rocking once again on Saturday afternoon as Wolves continued their incredible form in the Premier League, making it six straight victories with a commanding 3-0 win over already-relegated Leicester City. While there were plenty of standout performers in gold, the spotlight shone brightest on Brazilian midfielder Andre, whose commanding display earned glowing praise from teammates, fans, and pundits alike.
Wolves under Vitor Pereira are a team transformed. What once felt like a rebuilding season has become something far more thrilling — a charge toward the European places, driven by togetherness, attacking verve, and tactical clarity. From front to back, Wolves played like a team full of belief, and Leicester — deflated and downcast — were simply no match.
Cunha Strikes Again, Larsen Matches Raul, and Gomes Caps It Off
The afternoon began with Wolves on the front foot, immediately asserting their dominance. Matheus Cunha, who has enjoyed a phenomenal season, opened the scoring with a clinical finish — his 15th Premier League goal of the campaign. It’s been a career-best season for the Brazilian, and although rumors continue to swirl about a potential summer departure, he remains firmly committed to the cause for now.
Shortly after, Jorgen Strand Larsen got in on the action. The Norwegian forward, who arrived at Molineux with high expectations, has grown into his role superbly. His goal against Leicester brought his season tally to match Raul Jimenez’s total in his first Premier League campaign — a meaningful milestone for fans who still remember Raul’s peak years fondly.
The third goal, a sweeping counter-attacking move finished off by Rodrigo Gomes, was emblematic of this new Wolves side. Sharp in transition, brave on the ball, and always looking for the killer blow. By the time the final whistle blew, it felt like Wolves could have had even more.
Andre’s Midfield Masterclass
And yet, as exciting as Wolves’ front line has been, it was the midfield that provided the foundation — with Andre delivering yet another masterclass in control, balance, and bite. It’s hard to overstate just how influential he has become in recent weeks. After a relatively quiet start to life in the Premier League following his £21 million move from Fluminense, Andre has blossomed into one of the most complete midfielders in the league.
His performance against Leicester was the epitome of dominance. He completed 48 of his 52 passes (a stunning 92.3% accuracy), including one key pass that led to a goal-scoring opportunity. But he wasn’t just tidy in possession — he was everywhere defensively, too. Andre recorded seven tackles, three interceptions, and six ball recoveries. Every time Leicester attempted to build, Andre was there to cut them off, reset Wolves’ shape, and restart the attack.
It’s no surprise, then, that Andre was recently voted Wolves’ Player of the Month. And his consistency isn’t just statistical — it’s visible in every match. He has grown into a leadership role without needing the armband. He sets the tempo, covers for his teammates, and never stops running. Whether it’s breaking up opposition play or launching a quick outlet pass into the final third, Andre is at the heart of everything.
Teammates React: Andre Praised by Cunha and Co.
Following the match, Andre posted a photo to Instagram with the simple caption: “Happy.” That one word summed up the mood at Molineux — and his own joy at being a key figure in a team that’s firing on all cylinders.
But the real headline came in the comments, where several Wolves players chimed in with praise that speaks volumes about Andre’s growing influence:
Matheus Cunha: “NO WORDS! Hahahaha what a player. Just English now.”
Jorgen Strand Larsen: “Que jugador eres (What a player you are). I love you.”
Rodrigo Gomes: “🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Nelson Semedo: “Andre O Grande” — “Andre The Great”
These aren’t just throwaway comments. They reflect admiration, camaraderie, and the kind of chemistry that’s built behind the scenes. Cunha’s comment especially hit fans emotionally. With his likely exit this summer, it almost felt like a symbolic passing of the torch — one Brazilian star giving his blessing to another.
From Under the Radar to Premier League Gem
When Wolves signed Andre, it wasn’t with a ton of fanfare. A £21 million deal for a defensive midfielder from Brazil’s Série A isn’t usually the kind of move that grabs headlines. But Wolves have done this before — think of how Ruben Neves arrived young and became a club icon. Now, they may have unearthed another gem.
What makes Andre so exciting is not just his current form, but his ceiling. He’s only 22 years old, yet he plays with the maturity and discipline of a seasoned veteran. His reading of the game is top-tier. He doesn’t dive into tackles rashly, and he knows when to drop deep, when to push up, and when to play simple. Those are signs of a truly elite football brain.
As European qualification becomes more of a possibility with each passing week, Andre will be key. Wolves are no longer just a team in form — they’re a team with a clear identity, and Andre is central to it.
Looking Ahead: Can Wolves Keep Hold of Their Rising Star?
With Cunha potentially leaving in the summer — amid reported interest from Champions League clubs — Wolves will no doubt face questions about whether they can hang onto Andre too. That’s the price of success. But for now, Wolves fans can take immense pride in watching a midfield maestro develop in front of their eyes.
In Andre, they don’t just have a good player — they have a player who could be great. The kind of player who makes teammates better. The kind of player who controls a match without needing to score or assist. The kind of player who makes fans excited not just about today, but about what’s coming next.
And at Molineux, what’s coming next looks very, very bright.
