A series of defensive lapses from West Ham saw Newcastle claim a thumping win at London Stadium.
Callum Wilson and Joelinton put the visitors two ahead inside 15 minutes, before Kurt Zouma pulled one back.
But blunders by Nayef Aguerd and Lukasz Fabianski allowed Wilson to double his tally and Alexander Isak to add a fourth, with Joelinton making it five in stoppage time.
Defeat leaves West Ham just outside of the relegation zone on goal difference.
David Moyes’ side are one of four teams on 27 points alongside Everton, Nottingham Forest and 18th-place Bournemouth.
Newcastle remain third and are now three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand, following a fourth successive win for Eddie Howe’s side.
