Newcastle staged a stunning second-half fightback to maintain their charge for Europe by slamming the Barclays Premiership door firmly shut behind arch-rivals Sunderland.
Four second-half goals handed the Magpies a third win on the trot at the Stadium of Light and a fourth successive league win as Glenn Roeder got the better of the caretaker bosses.
It was an outcome which looked unlikely at half-time when they trudged off the pitch trailing to Justin Hoyte's 32nd-minute strike having been completely out-played by Kevin Ball's men.
But substitute Michael Chopra levelled within 13 seconds of his arrival as a 59th-minute replacement for Lee Clark, and Alan Shearer thumped home a penalty two minutes later to put the visitors ahead.
Charles N'Zogbia's 66th-minute strike sealed the points, and Albert Luque's 88th-minute fourth simply added to the misery on Wearside as the Black Cats' wait for a home win over their neighbours continued.
The game represented Sunderland's last chance to salvage any pride from a disastrous season, and a crowd of 40,032 turned up to witness it, the bulk of them hoping against hope that Shearer's last-ever visit to the Stadium of Light would end in disappointment.
Their task could not be under-estimated: they had not won a home derby in 10 attempts stretching back 26 years, and with the Magpies having won their last three league games on the trot to rekindle hopes of European qualification, they knew a first league win on their own ground would take a major performance.
However, after excellent displays in their last two completed games - they were trailing 1-0 to Fulham last weekend when the match was abandoned - to secure creditable away draws at Everton and Manchester United, they ran out confident of finally giving their home supporters something to celebrate.
That confidence proved well founded as Ball's players excelled themselves before the break while Newcastle were woefully short of their best form.
The Black Cats dominated the opening 45 minutes with Liam Lawrence, Dean Whitehead, Tommy Miller and Daryl Murphy holding sway in midfield as former Sunderland man Clark and Amady Faye struggled to stem the tide.
Shearer and makeshift strike partner Kieron Dyer saw too little of the ball to do anything about it, and although Titus Bramble and Craig Moore initially did well to keep the home side at bay, the Magpies were found wanting when it mattered most after 32 minutes.
Jon Stead, confidence renewed after finally opening his Sunderland account, eased his way past Bramble wide on the left to cross for Whitehead at the near post, and when he turned the ball across goal, Hoyte slammed home from close range.
Nolberto Solano curled a 44th-minute free-kick into Kelvin Davis' arms a minute before the break, but apart from wayward efforts from Shearer and Celestine Babayaro, the keeper was a virtual spectator.
The visitors came out for the second half in more positive fashion, Stephen Carr and Charles N'Zogbia both getting into good positions to cross within the opening three minutes of the half, although neither was able to find a team-mate.
Moore needed to be at his best to finally dispossess Stead after he twisted and turned his way into the box after 51 minutes, but with the visitors now making a push of sorts, their hosts were having to defend a little deeper.
However, it took a timely intervention by Moore to halt an enterprising 51st-minute run by Stead with the striker hurdling challenges with ease to work his way into the box.
Newcastle's woes would have increased on 55 minutes had Stead's cross towards Chris Brown been a couple of feet lower, although N'Zogbia wasted Shearer's hold-up play seconds later when he screwed a shot horribly high and wide.
However, the game turned on its head within seven incident-packed minutes when Chopra equalised from close range after the home defence made a mess of clearing Bramble's long ball.
But worse was to follow two minutes later when N'Zogbia was hauled back by Hoyte inside the box and referee Chris Foy pointed to the spot.
Shearer, having converted penalties against both Tottenham and Wigan in the last fortnight or so, blasted his effort beyond Davis' dive to claim his first ever goal for the club at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland's dejection was visible, and it increased with 66 minutes gone when N'Zogbia worked his way into the box and slid a left-foot shot past Davis and inside the far post.
Shearer's afternoon ended prematurely with 19 minutes remaining when he limped off to be replaced by Albert Luque, with Ball already having sent on Kevin Kyle and Julio Arca for Stead and Murphy.
Arca's service from the right gave the home side hope with Chris Brown heading wide from a 76th-minute cross, but although the battled manfully to the whistle, the damage had been done and Luque's first goal for the club completed the rout.
OUR LAST MEETING AT ST JAMES' PARK -
FEB 2009 - NEWCASTLE 1 MACKEMS 1
NEWCASTLE: Harper, Taylor, Bassong, Coloccini (Edgar 90), Jose Enrique, Gutierrez, Butt, Nolan, Duff, Carroll (Lovenkrands 82), Ameobi. Subs Not Used: Krul, Xisco, Geremi, LuaLua, Donaldson.

Att: 52,084
Ameobi drilled home a 68th-minute penalty to cancel out Djibril Cisse's first-half strike as both sides emerged from a rip-roaring derby with something to show for their efforts.
However, the visitors were more than aggrieved at referee Howard Webb's decision to award the spot-kick for Steed Malbranque's challenge on Steven Taylor.
Cisse had put them in front 12 minutes before the break as they enjoyed the better of the first half, although the Magpies responded well after half-time and were well worth a point which did little to ease their relegation fears, but at least kept them out of the bottom three.
That will have come as some comfort to manager Joe Kinnear on a day when Shay Given and Charles N'Zogbia closed in on moves away from Tyneside.
He will hope a positive result in arguably the most important game of the season will give his depleted side fresh impetus for the trials which lie ahead.
A sell-out crowd of 52,084 on both sides left St James' wondering just what might have been, but at least able to go for work tomorrow morning with heads held high.
Ashley returned to Gallowgate for the first time since facing a furious fans' backlash in the wake of Kevin Keegan's departure in September, perhaps safe in the knowledge that the Toon Army were in no mood to air their dirty linen in front of the old enemy.
It also gave him a chance to survey the wreckage of a dream which has gone spectacularly wrong.
By the time the whistle sounded to bring an and to a tense first half, the repercussions, if they had not already dawned on him, were becoming ever more apparent.
Cisse's 33rd-minute strike handed the visitors a lead they just about deserved after making much of the running on an afternoon when old scores and current difficulties were both very much on the agenda.
Ricky Sbragia's men would have taken the lead with 20 minutes gone had Kieran Richardson's free-kick not come back off the post and had debutant Kevin Nolan not cleared Kenwyne Jones' follow-up off the line.
Two minutes later, Andy Carroll looped a header on to Marton Fulop's crossbar, but as Ameobi, a surprise inclusion after five games out with a knee injury, struggled to make the most of a series of half-chances, the pressure mounted.
Ameobi passed up a glorious opportunity when he fired high over after a good link-up down the right between Taylor and Damien Duff with 27 minutes gone, and Cisse took advantage when his chance arrived six minutes later.
He just about managed to hold his run to collect Dean Whitehead's through ball and, after Harper had blocked his initial effort, stab the rebound into the empty net.
The air of doom and gloom which has engulfed St James' for much of the season returned with a vengeance, although Carroll almost lifted it four minutes before the break when he blasted a left-footed shot inches wide.
With Jones and Cisse causing all kinds of problems for the home defence, the game had developed into something of a white-knuckle ride, although the Magpies returned knowing they had to commit men to the search for an equaliser if they were to escape with their dignity and their hopes of top-flight survival intact.
The resumed with a flurry as Nolan forced Fulop into a regulation save and George McCartney cleared an Ameobi header off his own line before Danny Collins got in a vital challenge on the striker before he could convert Jose Enrique's 52nd-minute pass.
Duff was rightly booked for diving in the box as Anton Ferdinand withdrew his foot in the challenge, but Newcastle were finally making their presence felt as Sunderland retreated and tried to hit them on the counter.
The visitors briefly managed to stem the tide, but they were pegged back with 68 minutes gone after Malbranque was adjudged to have felled Taylor inside the box.
Ameobi took charge of the spot-kick and blasted it high to Fulop's left to send the Tyneside contingent into raptures.
Sunderland's response was swift an concerted, Sebastien Bassong having to block Jones' 73rd-minute effort and Harper saving substitute Andy Reid's follow-up as the balance shifted once again.
Reid smashed a left-foot missile inches wide with the last kick of the game, but neither side was able to find a winner in a flurry of activity at the death and the final whistle brought warm applause from both sets of supporters.
