A positive update after a very worrying incident.

There were disturbing scenes at White Hart Lane this evening, as Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis collapsed following Spurs’ opening goal.

There was a lengthy delay as both teams’ medics treated the player, who was eventually stretchered off the pitch.

It brought back worrying memories of Fabrice Muamba collapsing on the same ground on St Patrick’s Day in 2012.

Thankfully though, the club have since tweeted to say that the striker is now ok.

The player has a history of fainting, after collapsing three times during the summer of 2009.
