Hopes were briefly raised when Zian Flemming fired Scott Parker’s side into the lead at Craven Cottage, but Fulham soon fired back.
With Nottingham Forest claiming a crucial 3-0 win at fellow strugglers Tottenham, it leaves the Clarets 10 points adrift of safety with only seven games left to play.
Elsewhere in the fight for survival, Leeds United played out another draw – this time at home to Brentford – while West Ham were beaten 2-0 at Aston Villa.
Bottom side Wolves, meanwhile, weren’t in action, but look sure to join Burnley in the Championship next season.
