Keane Lewis-Potter scored his first Premier League goals since January as Brentford piled more misery on Wolves.
His second-half double settled a largely forgettable game as Wolves continued to rewrite the history books on a miserable afternoon at Molineux that ended with Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late penalty being comfortably saved.
This defeat extends their club record to 10 successive top-flight defeats and equals the league’s longest winless run from the start of the season.
Their 17 games without a victory matches Sheffield United’s run set in 2020-21.
They are 14 points from safety and appear destined for relegation with just two points – putting the record of Derby’s record low of 11 under threat.
They go to Liverpool and Manchester United to finish the year with no win in sight under Rob Edwards, who has lost all of his opening six matches.
Jose Sa had already denied Lewis-Potter and made two excellent saves to keep out Kevin Schade before Lewis-Potter struck after 63 minutes.
He fired in from 10 yards after Wolves allowed Vitaly Janelt’s hopeful ball to bounce in the box, and then sealed the game with a smart finish with eight minutes left.
The victory lifts Brentford up to 12th, 10 points above the relegation zone.
Wolves’ woes were compounded when Caoimhin Kelleher, who had fouled Matt Doherty, saved Strand Larsen’s penalty.
