Lewis Miley, 17, netted his first goal for Newcastle to become the club's youngest Premier League scorer and help them to a 3-0 victory over 10-player Fulham, who saw striker Raul Jimenez sent off early on.
Fulham were brought back down to reality following consecutive 5-0 wins after Jimenez was shown a straight red card for jumping into Sean Longstaff in the 22nd minute.
Newcastle went closest to scoring when Anthony Gordon hit the crossbar but the depleted hosts were dealt two more injury blows in the first half, seeing Fabian Schar and Joelinton forced off with muscle strains.

Image: Fulham's Raul Jimenez is shown a red card
Newcastle's injury-hit squad was tested further when Schar pulled up in the 11th minute with a hamstring injury, but Fulham had bigger problems after Jimenez jumped into the head of Longstaff. The striker was initially shown a yellow card although soon saw red when referee Sam Barrott was sent to the pitchside monitor.
Gordon struck the underside of the crossbar as Newcastle pushed for the opener but the visitors still threatened on the counter-attack, seeing Alex Iwobi denied by Martin Dubravka.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe hailed Lewis Miley after he scored his first goal for the club in their win over Fulham in the Premier League.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on Lewis Miley: "His all-round performances have been so good and he's created a couple of goals with some really good passes in the final third. It's good to see him rewarded with a goal for himself. He's an incredible talent, he's started his Newcastle career in a great way."
On Schar and Joelinton injuries: "It's difficult to say. I don't know what to say about it. That's where we did really well to keep our composure and not dwell on those situations. Hopefully they're not too bad."
Newcastle's Lewis Miley on his first goal: "What a moment it was for me and my family. They were in the stand. Great feeling to see the ball in the back of the net. Hopefully I can score lots more.
"I haven't checked my phone yet but I'm sure everyone will be buzzing for us."

Fulham head coach Marco Silva hit out at the match officials' decision to send off striker Raul Jimenez
Fulham manager Marco Silva: "Until the 21st minute of the game, we didn't have one foul. All the tackles and challenges on the pitch, for us, were to keep going and, for Newcastle, were always free-kicks. Really strange. The pressure on the game with a not experienced referee was difficult for him. He was not capable of handling the pressure, in my opinion, from a game like this one at St James' Park.
"Two minutes before the red card, something that can make a big influence in the game, is the elbow from (Jamal) Lascelles on Raul (Jimenez). The VAR wants to stop the game to turn over the decision from the referee when he decided to give a yellow card for Raul and support him with the same images, not different images. The same VAR two minutes before didn't see the elbow.
