Murphy and Sandro Tonali worked their magic in the field but failed to go past Kelleher and a side that enjoyed a majority of possession in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain who sent them packing.
Andrew Robertson made two successive blocks to deny Alexander Isak and a Kieran Trippier strike before Burn rose the highest in the box to meet the ball and guide it past Liverpool’s net just before the break.
Newcastle’s talisman made two in the second half when he met Tino Livramento’s cross and clinically sent it behind the net to further dent Arne Slot’s side hopes for a comeback.
After an additional eight minutes, Harvey Elliott slid the ball for Cheisa and the Italian converted it nut it was definitely too late to send both sides level.
