Swansea fullback Taylor: Gomis collapse was frightening

Swansea City fullback Neil Taylor says seeing teammate Bafetimbi Gomis collapse at Tottenham last night was "frightening".

Gomis, 30, lost consciousness following Nacer Chadli's seventh minute opener in the Welsh side's 3-2 defeat at Tottenham.

It was later confirmed the Frenchman had fainted as part of a long-standing health condition.

"It's frightening when something like that happens on the pitch," Taylor told WalesOnline.

"Especially here - they must have been really worried - but the medical staff got on the pitch really quickly and dealt with it perfectly.

"Obviously it was really concerning and luckily the paramedics got on quick and dealt with it.

"I've heard he's okay, which is good, so obviously we wish him well and thankfully everything went how it was supposed to and was dealt with properly.

"The game went on and it's unfortunate we couldn't get a result for him."
