Newcastle star taken ill and immediately replaced in vomiting ordeal moments after half-time

Newcastle United’s Jacob Ramsey was at the centre of a bizarre substitution before the second-half of their clash against Everton.

The English midfielder was all set to resume the game before he was seen vomiting on the pitch.

Ramsey, who was still retching as he returned to the tunnel, was taken ill and immediately replaced by Joe Willock.

On talkSPORT commentary, ex-Sunderland striker Micky Gray said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. He must’ve been asked if he was OK.

“He took his position on the pitch and started retching. He was doing it as he went down the tunnel. Trying to get sick every two seconds.

“I do hope he’s OK.”

Ramsey was a doubt ahead of the game at St James’ Park due to a tight hamstring.

But he started and scored his first home goal for the Magpies with a deflected strike to draw the Toon level.

However, after an appalling Nick Pope error, Everton are leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Beto and Jarrad Branthwaite.
