Leeds produced a fine fightback to beat Wolves and leave Wanderers without a Championship home win since 3 October.
Benik Afobe slotted the hosts into an early lead at Molineux before Sam Byram equalised just before half-time.
Stuart Dallas put Leeds ahead shortly after the break when his powerful shot beat Carl Ikeme at the near post.
Byram added his second when Charlie Taylor's left-wing cross hit his shoulder and looped in, before Nathan Byrne steered home a consolation.
Wolves' first defeat in six games sees them slip to 17th in the Championship table while Leeds overtake them and rise to 14th.
The turnaround by Steve Evans' Leeds either side of the break left the home supporters stunned after they had seen Wolves dominate most of the first half.
Dallas gave Wolves an early scare as his dipping volley from 25 yards struck the post.
But moments later Afobe, recalled to the starting line-up in place of Adam Le Fondre, latched onto James Henry's knock down and finished calmly past Marco Silverstri.
Afobe shot just wide on the turn and Jordan Graham forced a good save from Silvestri, but the hosts were made to pay for not making their superiority count when winger Byram played a neat one-two with Chris Wood and finished well.
Leeds looked a different side after half-time as Northern Ireland international Dallas and Byram put them into a comfortable lead and Wood was denied twice by Ikeme.
Substitute Byrne gave Wolves some hope with a neat half-volley at the back post from Graham's cross but despite piling men forward in the final 10 minutes, Kenny Jackett's side were unable to find an equaliser.
Wolves manager Kenny Jackett:
"Leeds out-powered us. We had to withstand the pressure and we didn't. At the start of the second period they had too much power for us.
"Physically, I thought that we looked second best. We needed to defend as a side and we found defending tough.
"We came back at the end but we were always chasing the game. We need to rectify what is wrong and the move on. We have to come through this spell."
Leeds boss Steve Evans:
"Young Sam [Byram] has been good on the training ground for the last two weeks and I said to him that his chance is coming.
"But he is so good in attacking areas. We love the kid to bits and I have said before that if he comes home with my daughter I will be quite proud!
"He has played really well and everyone in the dressing room is really pleased for him."
