Newcastle cruised through to the quarter-finals of the European Challenge Cup with a 43-14 victory over Cetransa El Salvador.
The Falcons scored seven tries to score a bonus-point win and move above Overmach Parma in Pool Four, booking a last eight tie away at fellow Guinness Premiership side Saracens.
Flanker Phil Dawson scored Newcastle's first try with only eight minutes played.
Rob Vickers, Tim Swinson, Jon Golding and Danny Williams all followed him across the try-line to open up a 29-0 lead by half-time.
El Salvador put their first points on the board immediately after the break when scrum-half Aaron Young scored a try.
The visitors hit back when Micky Young touched down before Gaston Szabo crossed the line for a consolation try for El Salvador.
However, the Spanish side's misery was not complete as Newcastle replacement Matt Thompson's effort rounded out the scoring to give the Falcons a 29-point victory.
