Four crosses Sunday
Murphy had one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Sunderland.
Analysis: Murphy came off the bench Sunday and still saw some decent work in his 25 minutes of play, recording a shot and four crosses, although not enough to earn his club at least a point. He continues in more of a rotational role at this point in the season, recording four goal contributions in 26 appearances (14 starts), with a minimal three starts since the beginning of January.
Provides assist off bench
Murphy assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Barcelona.
Analysis: Murphy helped swing the momentum after coming on in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona, bringing fresh energy down the right flank and whipping in the cross that Harvey Barnes finished in the 86th minute to open the scoring. His direct runs forced Barcelona to retreat and finally gave Newcastle the width they had been missing in the final third. That assist looked set to stand as the match-winning moment until the stoppage-time penalty at the other end, while Murphy capped an impactful 23-minute shift off the bench with two chances created and one shot for the Magpies.
