William Osula and Joelinton both scored twice as Newcastle eased past League One leaders Bradford with a 4-1 Carabao Cup third-round victory.
The holders face tougher opposition in the next round as they host Tottenham, with the tie taking place in the week commencing October 27.
Eddie Howe's side produced a potent attacking performance against Bradford that showcased their creative talent. Osula caused major problems throughout, and captain Bruno Guimaraes provided two assists in a dazzling midfield display.
Bradford, however, did not leave Tyneside without a consolation as boyhood Magpies fan Andy Cook hammered home a brilliant half-volley.
A flurry of Newcastle crosses built pressure early on, and Bradford buckled after 17 minutes when Joelinton gobbled up a loose ball in the box and smartly slotted into the bottom right.
The Magpies' second came just two minutes later. Guimaraes played a defence-splitting ball pass for Osula, who coolly placed his finish between the legs of goalkeeper Sam Walker.
After a bright start to the second period, Bradford tired quickly, and Newcastle exploited the their fatigued defence as Guimaraes assisted Joelinton for a neat finish in the 75th minute.
The visitors, however, had their moment four minutes later as Cook's strike crashed off the underside of the bar to deny Aaron Ramsdale a clean sheet on his Newcastle debut.
Newcastle restored their three-goal advantage in the 87th minute as a gilt-edged Harvey Barnes allowed Osula to finish with aplomb, and send them into the fourth round.
