Coventry player-manager Gary McAllister admitted he was delighted to have taken all three points off Wolves - just a month after losing two front teeth against the Molineux men.
"We were always difficult to break down and we were capable of hitting them on the break," said McAllister, who put City on the road to victory with his brilliant eighth minute shot.
"That was certainly a sweet goal," added the 37-year-old former Scottish skipper.
"It was nice to have got in front because there was less pressure on us to push forward." McAllister found the target with a marvellous right footer from 20 yards after a pass from Richie Partridge deflected into his path off a Wolves defender.
Then, in the 66th minute, hard-working City secured the all-important points when Partridge found the net with a terrific angled drive after a neat pass from Dean Holdsworth.
"We have now won two games on the trot and that has helped us put things right," added McAllister.
"But there's still a lot of hard work to be done. I don't think there is an outstanding team in division one - everyone is capable of beating each other." Wolves boss Dave Jones admitted he was disappointed their ten-match unbeaten run had come to an end.
"They hit us with a couple of classic smash and grab goals," said Jones.
"City came with a plan and it worked.
"We are frustrated and annoyed because we know we can do better than that. We have thrown three points away." Jones added: "We didn't get enough shots in to trouble their keeper and we just couldn't break them down. They hit two cracking shots and they have both gone in." Wolves' Scottish midfielder Colin Cameron was just off target with a 24th minute shot that dipped over the bar and, moments later, he just failed to connect with a pinpoint cross from the on-loan Carlton Cole.
After the break Wolves tried desperately hard to get back into the game but Mark Kennedy, Alex Rae and Kenny Miller all failed in front of the target.
