Brief cameo late
Murphy recorded one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Murphy came on for Anthony Elanga in the 77th minute and delivered one inaccurate cross in 13 minutes of action as Newcastle pushed for what became Jacob Ramsey's late equalizer in the dying stages of the match. His introduction was part of manager Jaissle's late changes to inject fresh energy and directness into Newcastle's attack as the Magpies sought a way back from 2-1 down. Murphy has now appeared off bench in all of Newcastle's three Premier League fixtures this season.
Provides one assist
Murphy assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Brighton.
Analysis: Murphy played a direct creative role in Saturday's 3-1 win over Brighton, chasing down a long ball with determination in the first half before squaring across goal for William Osula to head home and open the scoring against the run of play. The English winger covered significant ground on the right flank and contributed defensively before being replaced by Harvey Barnes in the second half as his side looked to manage the result under Brighton's growing pressure, adding three key passes and three crosses. Murphy has now registered two assists across 30 Premier League appearances this season, consistently operating as a willing runner on the right side of his team's shape throughout a difficult campaign.
