Anthony Gordon fired Eddie Howe's side in front inside the opening two minutes with a stunning strike, and while a first-half red card for Jhon Durán made life more difficult for the visitors, there was no taking away from the quality of the Magpies' performance.

Alexander Isak made it 2-0 just before the hour mark, then Joelinton spectacularly rounded off the scoring in stoppage time to make it four wins in a row for Newcastle in all competitions and see them climb up to fifth in the Premier League table.
