Wilfried Zaha opened the scoring in the first half at Turf Moor
A goal in either half earned Crystal Palace their first Premier League win in six games in a cagey affair at Burnley.
Wilfried Zaha struck the opener right on half-time with a low drive, despite Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope getting a hand to the ball at his near post.
Jeffrey Schlupp sealed victory nine minutes after coming on as a substitute as he capitalised on Ben Mee's mistake to fire between Pope's legs from inside the area.
Chris Wood had Burnley's best chance but he could only smash his effort over the crossbar from close range.
Palace move up to 10th in the table, level on points with Burnley, who are eighth.
Burnley run out of ideas after making crucial mistakes
The Clarets came into the game in fine form, having won their previous two games 3-0, but their attack lacked a cutting edge against the Eagles.
Palace, who had not won since 5 October, remained resolute in their shape, restricting the hosts to just three shots in total during the first half.
Zaha handed the visitors the lead in first-half injury time, but Pope will be disappointed to have let the ball squirm past him at the near post.
Sean Dyche's side improved after the break but top scorer Ashley Barnes was replaced by Jay Rodriguez after a quiet afternoon on the hour mark, while strike partner Wood spurned their best opportunities.
The New Zealand international latched on to Cheikhou Kouyate's misplaced header back towards Vicente Guaita, but with only the keeper to beat from six yards out, Wood blazed the ball over the crossbar.
Palace doubled their lead against the run of play when Mee made a hash of his unopposed clearance to play the ball over his head, back towards his own goal, and Schlupp made no mistake.
Burnley continued to push forward but Guaita pulled off another brilliant save to deny Wood, who diverted the ball towards goal off his back, to highlight his disappointing afternoon.
The hosts have now lost all three home games this season in which they have conceded.
