Wolves closed in on Premier League survival and left Ipswich on the brink of relegation after a vital comeback win at Portman Road.
Jorgen Strand Larsen and Pablo Sarabia’s second-half strikes cancelled out Liam Delap’s opener to leave the Tractor Boys facing an immediate return to the Championship.
Kieran McKenna’s third-bottom side are 12 points behind the visitors with seven games left after a damaging defeat.
It was a game Ipswich had to win, yet a third successive league victory should now end Wolves’ own relegation fears with just 21 points to play for.
The result meant Southampton will also be relegated on Sunday if they fail to win at Tottenham.
Strand Larsen and Toti Gomes forced Alex Palmer into early saves but Delap fired Ipswich ahead after 16 minutes when he swept in his 12th goal of the season from Dara O’Shea’s knockdown.
It gave the hosts a platform, but keeper Palmer almost conceded a calamitous own goal when he allowed O’Shea’s backpass to drift under his foot before scrambling back to palm it off the line.
Wolves were awarded an indirect free-kick on the six-yard box, only for Sam Morsy to block Emmanuel Agbadou’s strike.
It rattled Ipswich and they remained on the back foot after the break with Joao Gomes hitting the post for Wolves as the nerves grew.
It was no surprise when Spaniard Sarabia found the bottom corner to level in the 72nd minute after excellent build-up play involving Strand Larsen.
The in-form Norway striker, on loan from Celta Vigo, then bundled in the crucial winner from a Sarabia cross with six minutes left for his fourth goal in three successive games.
