Noble scored his second 10 minutes later from the penalty spot after being brought down by Harry Wilson, before Felipe Anderson rounded off their biggest Premier League win for over a decade.
West Ham were lucky not to end the match with 10 men after Aaron Cresswell was sent off for a reckless challenge on Ryan Fraser, only for the video assistant referee (VAR) to downgrade the dismissal to a yellow card.
