Ipswich served up their best performance of the season on Sir Bobby Robson Day, beating promotion hopefuls Newcastle 3-1 at Portman Road.
Freddie Sears, David McGoldrick and Emyr Huws ensured Ipswich sealed back-to-back wins for the first time this season in front of their biggest crowd of the campaign against a team who looked anything like a Premier League side in waiting.
Former Ipswich favourite Daryl Murphy replied for Rafael Benitez's well-beaten team in this Sky Bet Championship contest.
The Suffolk side designated Monday to be Sir Bobby Robson Day - he managed both clubs.
Ipswich always had more appetite for the fight and had the ball in the net in the 13th minute via Tom Lawrence's free-kick - but McGoldrick was adjudged to have hauled down Isaac Hayden.
