Swansea striker Gomis collapses on pitch during Tottenham clash

Swansea City's Bafetimbi Gomis has collapsed on the pitch during his side's Premier League match against Tottenham.

The French forward, 29, appeared to pass out not long after Nacer Chadli opened the scoring for Spurs in the 7th minute.

Gomis' teammates and opponents were visibly distressed before medics helped him regain consciousness prior to the former Lyon man being carried off the White Hart Lane pitch on a stretcher.

It took four minutes for the medical staff to work on Gomis before equipping him with an oxygen mask.

Gomis has a history of fainting episodes when with Lyon, particularly in 2009, when he was taken for tests but nothing serious was detected.
