Donovan Wilson lifted the ball over Fraser Forster late on to secure Wolves victory over a lacklustre Saints
Last year's runners-up Southampton exited the EFL Cup at the second round after Championship side Wolves secured a deserved victory at St Mary's.
After a first half devoid of incident, captain Danny Batth rose unchallenged to head in Ivan Cavaleiro's corner.
Donovan Wilson made certain of victory late on, shortly after coming on as a substitute.
The striker ran onto Michal Zyro's smart through-ball before lifting it over Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo made a full 11 changes to the side that started the 2-1 loss to Cardiff at Molineux at the weekend.
Despite that, the Championship side were far more fluent throughout against their Premier League opponents, who made six changes from the team that beat West Ham 3-2 on Saturday.
Saints right-back Jeremy Pied twice fired wide, while Wolves goalkeeper Will Norris turned Sam McQueen's cross on to the bar.
