Merciless Newcastle treated Fulham to a black Monday on Tyneside to compound their misery over the impending loss of Louis Saha.
The in demand Frenchman was conspicuous by his absence as he discussed his proposed move to Manchester United, and the Londoners did little to suggest that there might still be life without him as they crumbled to a 3-1 defeat at St James' Park.
Defender Andy O'Brien and midfielder Gary Speed put Sir Bobby Robson's side 2-0 up before the break as they capitalised on some less than effective defending to leave the small band of travelling supporters huddled under the rafters in the gods at St James' Park among a crowd of 50,104.
But it was an audacious 54th-minute overhead kick from Laurent Robert which put the icing on the cake and sealed a double over the Londoners as United climbed above Fulham and into the top five.
The home side were rarely stretched in the 4,000th league game in the club's history, and Sean Davis' 74th-minute strike proved scant consolation for the visitors.
BRING ON LIVERPOOL SATURDAY!!!
