Relegation-threatened Burnley staged an extraordinary first-half fightback to beat Crystal Palace and claim their first Premier League victory in 17 matches.
The Clarets had failed to win in the top flight since overcoming Wolves on 26 October, and they appeared to be heading for another bruising evening after two first-half Jorgen Strand Larsen goals had put Palace firmly in the driving seat.
Strand Larsen, making his first appearance at Selhurst Park since joining from Wolves in a club-record deal in January, slammed Adam Wharton's lofted pass beyond Martin Dubravka to put the Eagles ahead after 17 minutes.
The Norwegian striker then netted his and Palace's second shortly after the half-hour mark, directing a brilliant header into the far corner from Jefferson Lerma's outswinging cross.
Burnley failed to register a shot on target in the opening 39 minutes of the game, but Scott Parker's side finished the half in scarcely believable fashion, scoring three goals in seven minutes to take a 3-2 lead into the break.
Hannibal Mejbri reduced the arrears with a sweetly struck, first-time shot from Marcus Edwards' cut-back, before Jaidon Anthony guided a low drive inside the near post to restore parity four minutes later.
The ball appeared to strike Burnley midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu on the arm in the build-up to the Anthony's effort, but despite Palace's protests the goal was allowed to stand.
The Clarets' astonishing turnaround was complete in first-half stoppage time when Henderson parried Bashir Humphreys' header on to the foot of Lerma, who was unable to prevent the ball trickling over the line for an own goal.
Palace, who arrested a 12-match winless run with victory at rivals Brighton on Sunday, dominated possession in the second half without properly testing Dubravka in the Burnley goal.
But they should have salvaged a point when the unmarked Daichi Kamada met Daniel Munoz's cross at the far post, only to turn his header wide of the target from close range.
Glasner's team stay 13th, while Burnley are now nine points adrift of safety with 12 matches left to play.
