Matheus Cunha scored the only goal as Wolves beat the Cherries 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League last weekend and will be eying progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals this time around. 

They've reached the fifth round of the competition for the second season on the spin and we've taken a look back at their last six fifth round ties.

It proved enough to send the gold and black into the last eight for the first time since reaching the semi-finals five years earlier in 2019. 

They lost 3-2 in the quarter-finals at home to Coventry City after a dramatic late comeback from the Championship outfit.
