Republic of Ireland pair Glenn Whelan and Conor Hourihane both hit the target as Aston Villa ramped up the pressure on second-placed Cardiff, who host Bristol City on Sunday, with a 4-2 comeback victory at Sheffield Wednesday.
Villa were trailing at half-time to goals from Sean Clare and Lucas Joao either side of Lewis Grabban's leveller.
But Whelan's 67th-minute equaliser was added to late on by Hourihane and Robert Snodgrass, who scored from the penalty spot, to move Villa one point behind.
Wolves missed the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table after suffering a 2-0 defeat to promotion-chasing Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Goals from Ryan Sessegnon and Aleksandar Mitrovic took the Cottagers to within five points of the automatic-promotion spots.
Wolves are now without a win in three matches, having drawn their previous two, but they are still nine points ahead of second-placed Cardiff.
