Papiss Cisse scored twice to extend Newcastle's lead over Liverpool to 11 points as the visitors' poor run of form continued.
After the returning Andy Carroll was booked for diving in the opening minutes, Cisse headed home Hatem Ben Arfa's cross midway through the first half.
And the three points were secured when the Senegal international composed himself and slotted home his second on the hour mark.
Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina was sent off with eight minutes remaining for aiming a headbutt towards James Perch, who had tripped the Spaniard.
Having used all three substitutions, Kenny Dalglish was forced to play Jose Enrique between the posts for the remaining minutes.
