Jay Rodriguez's second-half header secured a 1-0 win for Burnley over Watford to dent the Hornets' hopes of preserving their Premier League status.
After Matej Vydra had hit a post for Burnley, Rodriguez was twice denied by Ben Foster early on before having an effort cleared off the line by Craig Dawson.
Dawson headed over the crossbar down the other end as it remained scoreless at half-time.
