Watford slumped to a Premier League-record 11th straight home defeat as Burnley struck twice in the final seven minutes to win 2-1 at Vicarage Road.
The hosts took the lead in the eighth minute when a cross fell kindly for Juraj Kucka who rattled a shot against the bar before ricocheting in off James Tarkowski for an own goal.
Burnley found a leveller with just seven minutes remaining as Jack Cork ghosted into the box to head Charlie Taylor’s cross home from close range.
The Clarets completed their comeback just three minutes later. Watford failed to clear their lines and Josh Brownhill capitalised, steering in a low finish from just inside the box.
