Sean Dyche is refusing to press the panic button despite Burnley's damaging 2-0 defeat at Brentford which left them stuck in the relegation zone.
The Clarets would have climbed out of the bottom three for the first time this season with a victory in west London.
They had their chances, too, with Maxwel Cornet denied by Bees keeper David Raya when clean through and Jay Rodriguez hitting the crossbar.
But two late goals from Ivan Toney settled the match and made it three defeats on the spin for Burnley.
