Manager Jan Siewert said Huddersfield "still have a chance" of Premier League survival after they beat Wolves to end a 14-game winless run and give the German his first victory as Terriers manager.
Steve Mounie scored the winner in the 91st minute as he turned in the rebound from inside the six-yard box after Karlan Grant's shot.
The win sparked wild celebrations with the striker mobbed by his team-mates after scoring, while Siewert was swamped by his backroom staff and the players linked arms to celebrate in front of their fans.
Huddersfield remain bottom of the table, still 11 points from safety but have their first win since 25 November and their first in five games under Siewert.
"Since the time I arrived, I said we still have a chance and we believe that," the German said.
"There are still games to go. We will keep on fighting.
"My thoughts are just with the boys. They made me so proud. They deserve it so much.
"I think we can all be proud to be Huddersfield this evening."
Town deserved the three points but it had looked like another lacklustre showing in front of goal would cost the Terriers with Mounie putting a header into the side-netting from close range earlier in the second half.
He also shot narrowly wide of the post late on while Jonathan Hogg and Jon Gorenc Stankovic could have done better with headers after half-time.
Woeful Wolves missed the chance to move into seventh in the table and saw their eight-game unbeaten run come to an end.
Their only real chances came in the first half when Raul Jimenez glanced a header off target and Matt Doherty scuffed a shot wide of the near post.
