Midfielder Jacob Ramsey scored his first goal at St. James’ Park but was forced to withdraw from Newcastle’s 3-2 loss to Everton after falling ill immediately after the halftime interval.
Jacob Ramsey experienced a bittersweet afternoon at St. James’ Park, netting an equalizer against Everton before being forced off by sudden illness.
Despite returning from a hamstring injury, the 24-year-old was unable to complete the match as symptoms emerged just as the second half commenced.
Manager Eddie Howe confirmed the mid-game departure, noting, “He felt he could continue, but it was obvious at the start of that half that he couldn’t.”
The midfielder later shared his pride in scoring on social media, prompting a playful response from former Aston Villa teammate Morgan Rogers.
Rogers mocked the incident with a “vomiting” emoji, referencing Ramsey’s visible distress on the pitch.
Newcastle, now facing three consecutive home defeats, must quickly regroup before hosting Manchester United on Wednesday. Ramsey remains a key figure for the Magpies, having significantly increased his impact throughout 2026.
