After the 5-1 win over Sheffield United at St. James' Park a week earlier, Eddie Howe's men headed to Lancashire seeking another three points to help keep themselves firmly in the hunt for a European place.

And that's exactly what they got, as goals from Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães and Alexander Isak rendered Dara O'Shea's late consolation meaningless as a ruthless United cruised to victory in what was Howe's 100th Premier League game in charge of the club.

Serena Taylor was there to capture the best of the action for this newcastleunited.com gallery.
