The Swans had their second after the break when a quick counter saw Shelvey race through on goal. His effort was saved by Krul before Debuchy before the ball went in off Debuchy after he had chased the Swans midfielder back.
Shelvey put the gloss on the result towards the end when he curled an effort beyond Krul in the Newcastle goal.
