Jay Rodriguez scored his eighth goal of the season as his penalty against Norwich sent Burnley top of the Championship.
The Clarets striker was handed the chance as Grant Hanley blocked Manuel Benson's cross with his elbow with just eight minutes left, and when it seemed Norwich might hold out for a second successive draw to end their slide.
As it was, the Canaries remain outside the play-off spots after a dire run of eight games without a win, and with just one point from the last five games.
