Leander Dendoncker maintained Wolves' Champions League charge and plunged Aston Villa deeper into relegation trouble.
The Belgium international struck midway through the second half to earn the visitors a 1-0 win at Villa Park and close the gap on the top four.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side moved up to fifth in the English Premier League - above Manchester United - and are just two points behind Chelsea after a third straight win.

They maintained their 100 per cent record following the league's resumption, keeping their seventh clean sheet in eight top-flight games.
In contrast, Villa - winless since January - remain in the drop zone on goal difference having played a game more than rivals Bournemouth, West Ham and Watford.
