Spurs had looked like piling the pressure on leaders Liverpool in the Premier League title race after Harry Kane celebrated his new year MBE in style with a brilliant first-half strike.
But Wolves had other ideas and enjoyed a memorable first visit to the new national stadium as goals from Willy Boly, Raul Jimenez and Helder Costa in the final 18 minutes gave them a deserved three points.
It was a game too far for Spurs, whose relentless run of fixtures finally caught up with them, and they could now end the weekend nine points behind Jurgen Klopp's side.

Missed penalty! (Maddison)
Leicester could have gone in front against Cardiff but James Maddison sees his penalty saved!
78 min: Right now there doesn't seem to be much sense of Tottenham getting a winner – if anything, Wolves look the more likely of the two teams.
Missed penalty! (Kamara)
Another spot-kick saved, this time Huddersfield's Lossl getting down to stop Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara. What a crucial save that might be in the relegation battle.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Wolves (Jimenez)
Extraordinary scenes at Wembley! Spurs have utterly capitulated. Raul Jimenez collects the ball on the edge of the box on a counter-attack and fires a low shot inside the post. Surely Hugo Lloris should have kept it out?
GOAL! Watford 1-1 Newcastle (Doucoure)
The Hornets are level thanks to a man in form, Abdoulaye Doucoure.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-3 Wolves (Costa)
A bizarre game is surely over now. Spurs have been tame in this second half. It comes from another counter-attack: Doherty released Costa who surged through and slotted the ball past Hugo Lloris.
GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Huddersfield (Mitrovic)
Fulham have done it! A huge three points for Claudio Ranieri.
GOAL! Leicester 0-1 Cardiff (Camarasa)
Camarasa bends in a winner at the King Power! It's a brilliant strike, and Cardiff's surge up the table goes on.
Full-time: Fulham 1-0 Huddersfield
A vitally important late winner at Craven Cottage sees Huddersfield stay rooted to the bottom.
