Cardiff City missed a chance to move out of the Premier League's bottom three by conceding two poor goals in a home defeat by Burnley.
The visitors' Icelandic international Johann Berg Gudmundsson headed the opening goal in the 52nd minute from Charlie Taylor's cross but eight minutes later Josh Murphy, who had earlier hit a post, scored a deserved Cardiff equaliser.
Weak defending allowed Welsh international Sam Vokes to head the winning goal from Gudmundsson's volleyed cross.
A fourth successive defeat left promoted Cardiff second bottom with two points from seven games, while Burnley's first away win pushed them into mid-table.
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock was left bemoaning a lack of good fortune.
The much-travelled Warnock feels they have not got the breaks they deserve in a tough run of fixtures which have produced two points from seven games.
"I thought we were the best side all the way through," he said of today's fourth successive defeat.
"We had to work really hard to lose it. We were super in everything except defending the two goals."
Cardiff also believed they should have had a penalty for hand ball in the first half to go with a header that was cleared off the line, a disallowed goal and a shot against the post by Murphy.
"The lad's hands are up there in an unnatural position and I think that's a penalty," Warnock said.
"We don't get them as smaller clubs but that would have changed the game. Sometimes it depends which ref you get."
In their first 10 games back in the Premier League Cardiff will have faced the top seven clubs from last season. Next up are Tottenham Hotspur, promoted Fulham and Liverpool.
"We have to move on and stop feeling sorry for ourselves," Warnock added.
Burnley have also had a difficult start, mainly because of being involved in six Europa League matches, so manager Sean Dyche was pleased his team came through a serious examination to record their second successive win.
"Cardiff put the ball in the box from literally everywhere and it knocked us out of our rhythm," he said.
"It was effective, we couldn't get into the game but I was pleased with our reaction. Second half we calmed a little bit but we had to defend resolutely and show the desire to get a result.
"This is a really tough division and we have had our fair share of knocks at the start of the season with the overload of matches."
