It took Brendan Rodgers’ side just nine minutes to take the lead as Jordan Henderson’s pass found Sterling, who fired past Tim Krul for his 11th goal of the season.
Liverpool wasted a host of first-half chances and could have paid the price as Newcastle thought they should have been handed a route back into the match when Dejan Lovren appeared to foul Ayoze Perez in the penalty area, but referee Lee Mason waved the claims away.
The hosts eventually went on to seal all three points thanks to Joe Allen’s smart finish in the 72nd minute before Moussa Sissoko saw red for two yellow cards for the visitors.
The result sees Liverpool reignite their challenge for Champions League qualification before they head to Wembley for next weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa.
After Manchester United’s 4-2 win over rivals Manchester City, Liverpool knew victory would propel them back into the race for Champions League qualification and they started in confident fashion.
They got their reward for their fast start in the ninth minute when the impressive Henderson’s pass found Sterling on the left edge of the penalty area. The England international cut inside and beat two Newcastle defenders before curling a beautiful right foot shot beyond the dive of Tim Krul.
Liverpool went close again minutes later as Lovren found Albert Moreno, who shot from a tight angle but Krul beat the ball away to safety.
The home side were dominant and this time it was Coutinho’s turn to trouble the visitor’s defence. The Brazilian ghosted past Jack Colback and Mike Williamson before cutting the ball across goal, but Sterling could not reach it with the goal gaping.
