Reigning Premiership champions Sale Sharks slipped to their fifth defeat in a row as bottom side Worcester eased to a comfortable victory on Friday.
But the Warriors were unable to get the bonus point which would have moved them off the foot of the table.
Shane Drahm and Tevita Taumoepeau both scored tries for the visitors.
Daniel Larrechea managed three penalties and a drop goal on his return from suspension but Sale were unable to get over the Worcester tryline.
Sale head coach Philippe Saint-Andre
"We need our players to fight for their lives.
"We need to stick together and realise, at the moment, that we are not a good team.
"You can see the team is low on confidence because, from the start, we were missing tackles and letting Worcester get on top."
Worcester coach John Brain
"We caused them problems with the ball and I thought we defended in exceptional fashion.
"They had lots of pressure in the final 20 minutes but, technically, our defence was something to be proud of.
"If we keep picking up points, it puts pressure on Newcastle, who are just above ourselves and Northampton."

Robinson and Lund have played major roles for England this yearSale pair Jason Robinson and Magnus Lund are close to fitness and could be ready for England's Six Nations game against France on 11 March.
Robinson missed England's defeat by Ireland on Saturday with a neck injury, while Lund came off at half-time in Dublin because of concussion.
Sale said Robinson's injury "does not require corrective surgery" and that he "should be back playing very soon".
As for Lund, Sale are "hopeful he will be fit next week".
"Magnus will not play again until he has taken and passed the necessary tests," added club doctor Dave Jones.

"It is very doubtful he will play against Saracens this weekend."
Robinson injured his neck during England training in Bath last Wednesday and did not recover in time for the match at Croke Park.
The 33-year-old winger saw a specialist on Tuesday night and was advised to rest for a few days to let the neck pain settle down.
Jones added: "The good news is that the problem should not need any corrective surgery and with the correct rest and rehab, Jason should be back playing very soon."
