Ben Mee's first Premier League goal since January 2017 moved Burnley up to eighth in the table as they won 1-0 at Crystal Palace.
The Clarets had the better of the first-half chances, with a clearance from Palace centre-back Gary Cahill nearly cannoning in off team-mate Patrick van Aanholt before Dwight McNeil twice went close.
Mee broke the deadlock after 62 minutes, stooping low to head Ashley Westwood's free-kick as Vicente Guaita could only palm it in off a post.
