Lewis Miley, 17, scored his first goal for Newcastle to 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.
But substitute Miley opened the scoring with a well-taken finish 10 minutes into the second half which led to Miguel Almiron and Dan Burn also finding the net to put Newcastle back on track after back-to-back league defeats.
