Erik Lamela burst into the penalty area before rolling his shot under home goalkeeper Rui Patricio to open the scoring.
Tottenham added a second goal three minutes later when Lucas Moura powered in a free header, and the three points seemed assured when Harry Kane scored his eighth goal of the season in the 62nd minute after Rui Patricio saved his initial effort.
Wolves grabbed a lifeline with 22 minutes left. Kieran Trippier lost possession, 20-year-old center back Foyth fouled Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves buried his penalty.
Jimenez pulled another goal back with another spot kick in the 79th after Foyth brought down defender Jonny, but fourth-place Tottenham defied Wolverhampton's late bid for an equalizer to move within three points of leader Liverpool.

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Like all the other matches that have happened today, a minutes silence precedes the action to remember the five people we lost last weekend.
Arsenal 0 - 0 Liverpool
Liverpool start the match, hit it forward and then win the ball back. Arsenal mount the pressure though and Aubameyang gets free on the left hand side, he gets the ball into the box and van Dijk gets it clear.
3 mins: Arsenal 0 - 0 Liverpool
Mesut Ozil combines with Aubameyang to free the striker in behind the defence but he's marginally offside. Good start for Arsenal.
6 mins: Arsenal 0 - 0 Liverpool
Lacazette almost puts Arsenal in front, he makes room for himself in the area and flicks the ball goalwards. Alisson stays low and smothers the ball, it's a good save from the Liverpool keeper.
Liverpool respond with Robertson winning a corner.
