Adama Traore brought Wolves' winless run to an end with a dramatic last-gasp winner against struggling Fulham at Craven Cottage.
In added time at the end of the game, Traore ran down the right before firing home to secure his side's first victory since mid-February.
"The win was very important," said Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. "This is what we want for the rest of the season - there are a lot of games to be played and we have a lot of things to improve."
Cottagers boss Scott Parker could have been forgiven for despondency but was unbowed after the match, despite the loss of what could be a pivotal point in his team's relegation battle.
"You may think I am mad but I honestly believe in this team," he said.
"What is ingrained in me is a desire, an effort and fight, and my team showed that tonight. It's been fine margins all season. What's key is you get back up fighting."
Wolves striker Willian Jose had earlier been denied his first goal since joining on loan when his well-weighted header in first-half stoppage time was ruled out for an offside by Daniel Podence following a VAR review.
On their third opportunity to move out of the bottom three for the first time since December, Fulham again fell short.
The Cottagers slumped to their fourth successive defeat with their last points coming in a shock victory over champions Liverpool at Anfield on March 7.
Scott Parker's men have struggled at home this season, with only two of their five victories coming at Craven Cottage, where they have now found the net only three times in their last 11 games.
Both sides observed a two-minute silence before kick-off in tribute to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, following his death at the age of 99.
The game then began with plenty of intensity from both sides, each backed by loud benches, although Fulham and Wolves struggled to create any significant chances in the opening exchanges.
On his return to the Fulham side, Antonee Robinson cleverly picked out Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the 28th minute but the on-loan Chelsea midfielder's glancing header went just wide of Rui Patricio's goal.
Fulham looked to be edging closer to taking the lead with Traore's dragged-wide effort in the 36th minute the closest the visitors had come up to that point.
Aleksandar Mitrovic had to wait for his first opportunity of the game but, when it came in the 43rd minute, the Serbian headed wide from a Robinson cross.
Wolves looked to have taken the lead in added time at the end of the first half when Jose headed past goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
However, VAR official David Coote reviewed the decision and eventually ruled the goal out for a marginal offside by Podence's armpit in the build-up.
The second half started in a similarly cagey fashion to the first, and both sides had to wait for opportunities.
Wolves had a promising free-kick in the 68th minute just outside the Fulham area, but Romain Saiss drilled the ball over the bar from 20 yards out.
Fulham kept pressing to try and find the opener, with Robinson trying his luck from distance with less than 10 minutes to go and forcing Patricio into a diving stop.
But, just as the game looked to be heading for a draw, Traore sealed a much-welcomed victory for the visitors.
Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

What is a rare disease?
A rare disease is classified as one that affects a small percentage of the population. More than 7,000 diseases are identified as rare and most are genetic in origin. More than 75 per cent of rare genetic diseases affect children.
Collectively rare diseases affect 1 in 17 people, or more than 400 million people worldwide. Very few have any available treatment and most patients struggle with numerous health challenges and life-long ailments that can go undiagnosed for years due to lack of awareness or testing.
