Jonjo Shelvey scored twice as Newcastle hammered QPR 6-0 in a totally one-sided game at Loftus Road - Rangers' heaviest-ever home league defeat.
There were also goals for Ayoze Perez, Ciaran Clark, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Grant Hanley as the Magpies, who were twice denied by the woodwork, stormed to their fifth consecutive win.
They went ahead in the 12th minute, when Shelvey's shot took a deflection off Karl Henry, wrongfooting keeper Alex Smithies.
And they doubled their lead on the half-hour mark when Perez collected Matt Ritchie's delivery and scored at the second attempt after his first effort had been blocked by keeper Smithies.
