Also on the scoresheet were Dan Burn, Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon, Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes.
It was the club’s biggest away win in the league - matching their record league victory, an 8-0 hammering of Sheffield Wednesday in 1999 - leaving them eighth on the log on nine points after six games, nine points behind leaders Manchester City, who they face in the League Cup third round on Wednesday night.
Earlier in the day, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur played to a 2-2 draw in a thrilling north London derby.
