Swansea produced a stylish display to beat 10-man Newcastle and inflict a first defeat on new Magpies head coach Steve McClaren.
Jonjo Shelvey set up Bafetimbi Gomis to round Tim Krul and slot into an empty net to give Swansea an early lead.
Newcastle defender Daryl Janmaat was sent off shortly before half-time for persistently fouling Jefferson Montero.
The Ecuadorian’s next involvement was to cross for Andre Ayew to head his second Swansea goal in as many games.
Garry Monk’s side could have won by a bigger margin, but Montero and Gylfi Sigurdsson’s long-range shots hit the woodwork.
Newcastle failed to trouble the hosts, who monopolised possession and consigned their opponents to a seventh successive Premier League away defeat.
