Hide AdCallum Lang was taken out by Burnley goalkeeper Arajenet Muric just inside the box, and Will Keane converted from the spot.
Keane then squandered a gilt-edged opportunity to level the scores five minutes after the restart, when he fired high and wide from eight yards.
Burnley immediate made him and Latics pay by regaining their two-goal lead through Nathan Tella.
And two goals in the last five minutes from Brownhill and Samuel Bastien gave the scoreline a lop-sided look.
