The Clarets knew they simply had to win to stand any realistic chance of keeping their fading survival hopes alive.
Still 11 points adrift of safety with only 13 games remaining, Scott Parker’s side are now without a win in their last 16 league games.
While relegation seems an inevitability, Burnley also have a fight on their hands to beat their last tally in the top flight: a meagre 24 points under Vincent Kompany during the 2023/24 campaign.
Elsewhere in the fight for survival, bottom side Wolves also lost again, Chelsea winning 3-1 at Molineux.
Leeds United claimed a huge 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, while Tottenham also dragged even further into danger with a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United.
