Brentford put their poor form behind them as goals in each half from Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney saw them shock Molineux with a 2-0 win at Wolves.
The Bees came to the Black Country without a single point on the road since late October, but struck a deserved opener 10 minutes before half-time when Christian Norgaard nodded Sergio Reguilon's corner beyond a stranded Jose Sa.
Wolves twice hit the post through Pedro Neto and thought they had found an equaliser when Craig Dawson glanced a cross home before VAR ruled the defender offside.
The hosts dominated the second period but struggled to create further opportunities without the influential Matheus Cunha, who worryingly headed straight down the tunnel after being substituted following a heavy fall before half-time.
In fact, Brentford showed little sign of a team who had dropped a league-high 26 points from winning positions, and instead displayed a clinical edge as Toney coolly volleyed a second home from their only chance of the second half.
That was enough to end a run of seven defeats from eight for the visitors, who moved six points above the relegation zone with a vital three points.
