Only Raul Jimenez (seven) and Ruben Neves (six) have scored more goals in the Premier League for Wolves since the start of last season than defender Romain Saiss (five)Wolves won for the first time in five matches as they beat Brighton to move up to eighth in the Premier League table.
The visitors went ahead in first-half stoppage time thanks to Romain Saiss' volley after Ruben Neves' clever lifted pass over the Brighton defence.
Brighton should have equalised a minute later but Enock Mwepu could only shoot over the crossbar from three yards out.
Wolves, who had not scored in their previous four matches, had chances to double their lead but Fernando Marcal and Saiss both hit the woodwork and Daniel Podence had two efforts saved by home goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Brighton, without a win now in 12 matches in all competitions, would have moved into the top half with a victory, but drop to 13th.
