England captain Kane fired Spurs ahead on the stroke of half-time before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg doubled their lead in the 62nd minute. Victory left Spurs in sixth place, five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with a maximum of six points available to them from their final two league games.
Kane looked dangerous from the off, striking Patricio's post within five minutes with a magnificent effort from the edge of the box. Spurs came close again just before the break, with Wolves defender Connor Coady clearing off the line twice despite Wolves' protests for a foul on Patricio.
It was right on the stroke of half time that Spurs eventually got a deserved lead through their talisman. Kane latched onto Hojberg's through ball behind centre backs Conor Coady and Romain Saiss. The Spurs star side-stepped Coady's challenge and rounded goalkeeper Rui Patricio, before curling the ball into the corner of the net.
