# Wolves: Fans gush over Vitinha’s strike against Chorley

**Many Wolves fans gushed over Vitinha’s strike during his side’s FA Cup tie against Chorley on Friday evening.**

The 20-year-old opened the scoring for the visitors on the night. With plenty of space to run into, Vitinha strolled into the opponents’ half and hit a [sweet right-footed strike](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/jan/22/chorley-v-wolves-fa-cup-fourth-round-live) past the helpless Matthew Urwin – swerving and dipping from 35 yards out into the top corner.

Vitinha has been a bit-part player for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side this season, having started just twice in the Premier League and making eight appearances as a substitute ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/384887/Show/Vitinha)).

But Friday’s game at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium was the perfect opportunity to show his manager why he deserves a run in the first-team, which he did perfectly.

Supporters could not believe what they saw as they reacted to Tim Spiers’ post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1352706689850552322), with some suggesting they have another version of Ruben Neves on their hands.
