It proved to be another costly defeat, with the gap to safety now stretching to 10 points with only seven games remaining.
But the Clarets must wait to put it right, with the March international break now fully in swing.
That accounts for two of the three weeks, but the FA Cup quarter finals are also being held on the resumption of the domestic campaign at the start of April.
That means by the time Burnley return to action – against Brighton on Saturday, April 11 – 21 days will have passed since their last game.

“It’s something we need to address in certain areas, but we will get back to work fully committed and we will go away.”
