Goals from Destiny Udogie and Richarlison saw the home side ahead at the break after a relentless display against the injury-ravaged visitors.
Richarlison added a third after the break before Son Heung-Min got in the act from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Martin Dubravka.
Joelinton’s injury-time finish secured a consolation goal for Eddie Howe’s side who remain seventh after two back-to-back defeats.

Tottenham vs Newcastle - predicted line-ups
We’ll have team news in about 45 minutes but here is how we are expecting both sides to line up:
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Lo Celso, Richarlison; Son.
Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Livramento; Miley, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
Tottenham vs Newcastle - Early team news
Son Heung-min was forced off with a knock against West Ham, but should be fit to captain a Spurs side that may include a couple of changes. Pape Matar Sarr is back to full fitness and may reunite with Yves Bissouma in a midfield pairing that worked well earlier in the season, while Richarlison could start further forward.
Newcastle appeared to have suffered another injury blow against Everton when Jamaal Lascelles was replaced, but Eddie Howe suggested afterwards that the problem was a dead leg, potentially leaving Lascelles able to start again here.
That would be welcome news given the continued absence of, among others, Sven Botman and Dan Burn. Martin Dubravka will continue to deputise for the injured Nick Pope in goal.
