But a bonkers three-goal salvo saw the Clarets turned the game on its head before the interval in the space of just seven minutes.
The away side held on in the second half to claim a first league win in 17 outings, reducing the gap to safety to nine points in the process.
Elsewhere, bottom side Wolves held Nottingham Forest to a goalless draw, resulting in former Clarets boss Sean Dyche losing his job.
West Ham were denied a crucial three points at the death by Manchester United, while Leeds United came from behind to draw 2-2 at Chelsea.
Managerless Tottenham also find themselves being sucked into the relegation battle after losing 2-1 at home to Newcastle.
