Football: Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Chorley 1-0 to end non-leaguers FA Cup run

Separated from Chorley by 109 places in the English football pyramid, Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers only managed a single shot on target but that shot provided the only goal of the match in their 1-0 win in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday. Vitinha's spectacular long-range strike in the 12th-minute moved Nuno Espirito Santo’s side into the next round at the expense of their part-time hosts. The attacking threat was absent from Wolves, in contrast to the minnows from Chorley. John Ruddy of Wolves was the busier of the two goalkeepers - facing five efforts on target, including tipping over a header from Andy Halls, who is a personal trainer in his day job. This was not a significantly weakened Wolves side, with the starting lineup featuring Fabio Silva - the team's 40 million euro ($48.7 million US dollars) record-signing.
