MATHEUS CUNHA netted his 15th Prem goal of the season as Wolves brushed aside Leicester to leapfrog Manchester United.

The Brazilian playmaker is a summer target for the Red Devils and lashed home a first-half opener at Molineux.

Leicester, already relegated following a dismal season, struggled to cope with the hosts for much of the afternoon.

And Jorgen Strand Larsen smashed in a deserved second shortly after the break.

Jamie Vardy announced earlier this week he will leave the King Power at the end of the season.

The former England forward hasn't netted for over three months – but was given the perfect opportunity after being felled in the box by Jose Sa.

Vardy took the spot-kick but was foiled by the Portuguese stopper.

To compound the Foxes' misery, Rodrigo Gomes netted a late third, leaving Ruud van Nistelrooy's men with just one away win in their last 15 attempts.
