Burnley have won just one of their past 14 Premier League matchesA calamitous own goal by goalkeeper Arijanet Muric prevented Burnley from securing a vital Premier League win over Brighton at Turf Moor.
One week after the Kosovan's mistake handed Everton a 1-0 victory over Vincent Kompany's side, Muric allowed a simple backpass from his team-mate Sander Berge to roll under his heel and into the net.
Josh Brownhill had given Burnley's chances of Premier League survival a glimmer of hope on 74 minutes when he nipped in to take advantage of a short backpass from Carlos Baleba and the ball cannoned in off the side of keeper Bart Verbruggen to give the home side the lead.
But just five minutes later Muric's error levelled proceedings and Burnley could not restore their advantage to take all three points.
The result leaves Brighton 10th in the Premier League while Burnley are still firmly rooted in the relegation zone, six points from safety.
In a game of few chances, Burnley had the better of them in the opening 45 minutes as Jacob Bruun Larsen missed a tap-in at the back post from five yards before David Datro Fofana could not connect with a brilliant Wilson Odobert pass to slide home.
The home side were denied an early penalty after a clumsy foul by Pervis Estupinan on Odobert but were ultimately left to rue their missed chances.
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was absent from the dugout after receiving a one-match ban for a red card at Chelsea last month, with assistant coach Craig Bellamy taking charge.
