Palacios in place of Tom Huddlestone but the momentum remained with the Clarets.
The comeback was complete in the 71st minute and it was no more than Burnley deserved. Fletcher did brilliantly to hold onto the ball on the left of the area and his cross provided Paterson with a simple finish at the far post.
At the other end, a free-kick from Bale again caused problems for the Burnley defence but Crouch's effort was straight at Jensen, while the keeper also held on to a deflected shot from Lennon as Tottenham sought an equaliser.
It very nearly got it moments later but the woodwork came to the hosts' rescue again as Caldwell headed Bale's corner against his own crossbar.
But it was Burnley's day and it made sure of the three points two minutes from time when Elliott's shot from 20 yards was diverted past Alnwick by substitute Thompson.
The victory meant the hosts climbed above Hull into 18th place in the final Premier League table.
