Rayan Ait-Nouri earned Wolves a 1-1 draw with already-relegated Norwich at Molineux.
The Canaries took the lead in the 37th minute when Teemu Pukki beat John Ruddy in the Wolves goal with an impressive finish.
But the hosts drew level 10 minutes into the second half as Ait-Nouri nodded in a free-kick.
The draw means that Wolves are now five points behind West Ham in seventh place, ending their hopes of European football.
Manager Bruno Lage cut a disappointed figure at the full time whistle. He said: “We are frustrated with the result.
“It has been easy to score goals against us in the last months. We tried to do our best; we changed the dynamic a bit, scored one and should score more.
“It is a draw, it is not good for us and me. I wanted a good performance and result for the fans who supported us this season.”
Norwich remain rooted at the bottom of the table but manager Dean Smith took plenty of positives from the game.
He said: “We had three wonderful chances. Teemu [Pukki] has been put through a number of times.
“I thought defensively we restricted them to not many chances at all.
“It was a really good, workmanlike performance but I’m disappointed we haven’t got all three because we could have been more than a goal up at half time.”
