Peterborough United slumped to the bottom of the Championship table after being thoroughly outclassed by the league leaders on Tyneside.Argentinian international wizard Jonas Gutierrez danced through some tame tackles during a 50-yard run before breaking the deadlock in the 15th minute.
And Newcastle quickly doubled their lead when Andrew Carroll was allowed a free header from Danny Guthrie's corner.
Danny Simpson clipped a third Toon goal seven minutes after the break before Posh restored plenty of pride with a spirited showing.
