Raul Jimenez scored the only goal as Wolves claimed a deserved victory over Burnley at Molineux to continue their strong start to the campaign.
The home side dominated possession and controlled the game against a well-organised Clarets side, but they had to wait the hour-mark for Jimenez to make the crucial breakthrough.
Burnley rarely threatened, with the only real chances they created falling to Johann Berg Gudmundsson late on.
The Clarets have now lost four successive Premier League game for the first time. Wolves meanwhile climbed into the top half of the table with their win.
The key moment was orchestrated down the Wolves right, with Matt Doherty toe-poking a cross into the path of Jimenez, who was able to divert the ball beyond Joe Hart's dive.
Nuno Espirito Santo has demanded his players "maintain the standards" set in their 1-0 victory over West Ham prior to the international break, and he was not disappointed.
"I am very, very satisfied. We played good football and stayed organised and created chances. Burnley are a good side and stayed in it until the end," said the Molineux boss.
"If there is a 'but', we could be more clinical. But if we can continue to make these many chances, it makes me very proud."
Wolves are 11/2 to win their next game, away at Manchester United. The Red Devils are 8/15 while the draw is 3/1 at Old Trafford.
For Burnley boss Dyche, his side didn't reach the required standard.
"We knew they were a good side. They invested well in the summer. We knew we'd have to defend resolute. We got some nice blocks in and looked more like ourselves defensively," he said.
"Attacking-wise there was nowhere near enough."
