Chorley boss Jamie Vermiglio felt his part-time side could have beaten Wolves after their fairytale FA Cup run was ended by the Premier League side.
A stunning first-half goal from 20-year-old Vitinha proved the only difference as the National League North side were edged out 1-0 by their top-flight visitors in a hard-fought fourth-round tie at Victory Park.
Chorley, who beat a coronavirus-depleted Derby in the third round, produced a rousing second-half display and both Connor Hall and Andy Halls forced saves from John Ruddy but Wolves held on.

Chorley had started positively. In 1986 they stunned a then Fourth Division Wolves in a first-round replay and they may have harboured hopes of an even greater upset as they tried to take the game to the visitors.
Harry Cardwell set off on a charge down the right inside the first minute to tee up Elliot Newby, but Ruddy comfortably dealt with his shot.
Wolves soon settled and, although Chorley were quick and strong into the challenges, looked comfortable on the ball.
Coady created an early opening with a long ball from deep which led to Patrick Cutrone having a shot blocked.
