Vitinha’s superb goal saw Wolves into the fifth round of the FA Cup at the expense of non-league Chorley.
While the Premier League side dominated possession, Vitinha’s swerving 35-yard effort was their only shot on target.
Connor Hall and Elliot Newby both missed good chances to score for Chorley, who are 109 places below Wolves in the English football pyramid.
Wolves will host either Southampton or Arsenal in the fifth round on Wednesday, 10 February.
