Chris Maguire scored twice as resurgent Sunderland made it three wins from six unbeaten matches by thumping Wycombe 4-0.
Phil Parkinson had made an inauspicious start as Black Cats boss, winning two of his first 14 games, but his team have moved back into play-off contention.
Most of the action came in the first half, with Sunderland racing into a 3-0 lead inside the first 21 minutes.
Lynden Gooch slid the ball across the six-yard box for Charlie Wyke to tap in and open the scoring.
Denver Hume added a second when Jordan Willis played a low ball into the penalty area and the youngster steadied himself before rifling home his first senior goal.
The Black Cats were rampant, and a third goal came after Gooch was felled inside the box by Anthony Stewart. Maguire smashed home the penalty.
The rout was completed in the 78th minute when Maguire grabbed his second goal - a stunning free-kick which hit the underside of the woodwork before crossing the line.
