After Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town on Saturday, manager Gary O’Neil got sacked..
The squad was left sagging in 19th position in the Premier League after the loss.
Additionally, it was the pinnacle of Wolves’ poor play, since they have only earned two victories this season.
The final straw for O’Neil, who had been in command for eighteen months, was Jack Taylor’s injury-time victory for Ipswich, which was made worse by the tumultuous post-match events.
The match began disastrously for Wolves with a funny own goal, though Matheus Cunha temporarily restored hope with an equalizer.
However, Taylor’s late header sealed the loss in what was a critical relegation battle.
Tensions boiled over at full-time, with Wolves players embroiled in an ugly brawl.
Cunha was accused of punching and elbowing an Ipswich security staff member, even damaging his glasses, while Rayan Ait-Nouri confronted Ipswich’s Wes Burns in a heated exchange.
Ait-Nouri was eventually carried off by a Wolves coach and later received a red card in the tunnel.
The club are now searching for O’Neil’s successor as they aim to turn their season around and escape the relegation zone.
