Raul Jimenez scored his 16th goal of the season as Wolves came from behind to win 2-1 at Norwich, who are now six points from safety in the Premier League.
The Canaries dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead when Todd Cantwell fired home from the middle of the box after pouncing on a loose ball.
But Wolves hit back after the break when Romain Saiss headed powerfully home.
Jimenez then snatched victory for the visitors when he fired in after Tim Krul had denied Matt Doherty.
It was a disappointing result for Norwich, who could have been out of sight in the first half after Teemu Pukki was twice denied when one on one with keeper Rui Patricio, while Alex Tettey hit the post.
The Canaries remain in 19th place but Southampton’s win against Aston Villa means the Saints move up to 17th, six points clear of Norwich.
Meanwhile, victory for Wolves moves them up to sixth and gets them back to winning ways after their 11-match unbeaten run was ended by Tottenham last week.
First-half fight not enough for struggling Canaries
Home form is likely to be key to Norwich’s hopes of staying in the Premier League and it is something that needs to drastically improve if they are to survive for a second season in the top flight.
This defeat means they are now without a win in front of their own fans since their impressive 2-1 victory against champions Manchester City on 26 September.
Despite that worrying run, there were positives to take from this performance as they dominated a surprisingly subdued Wolves side for well over an hour.
This display, coupled with the one in their 1-1 draw with second-placed Leicester last weekend, should give concerned home fans some comfort, but having let slip a lead for a second game in a row, Daniel Farke’s side need to start improving their ability to close out matches.
Wolves leave it late again
Wolves are once again on course for a season in which they surpass expectations and are looking capable of bettering their seventh-place finish last term.
However, while they did not get the result their performance warranted against Tottenham last time out, this was a game they were fortunate to win, with Patricio called upon to make several excellent saves in the first half to restrict Norwich to a one-goal lead at the break.
But under Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves are team that fight until the very end of games, and they made the most of their limited chances to turn another potential defeat into victory.
This is the 11th time in the Premier League this season they have conceded the first goal – the joint-most alongside Arsenal – but on eight of those occasions they have fought back to get a result and that was the case once again.
