Newcastle moved out of the bottom three in the Premier League as first-half goals from Joey Barton and Obefami Martins saw off West Bromwich Albion.
Barton – starting his first match since his release from prison – scored from the spot after 10 minutes following Ryan Donk’s foul on Shola Ameobi.
And Martins headed home Habib Beye’s cross three minutes before half-time.
Substitute Ishmael Miller pulled one back after the break, but West Brom could not make their pressure count.
