Bafetimbi Gomis ' collapse had those inside White Hart Lane fearing the worst , but thankfully the Swansea striker is fine - in fact , manager Garry Monk revealed he wanted to carry on playing against Tottenham . Hush fell on the ground where Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest three years ago after the 29-year-old went down as play was about to restart following Nacer Chadli 's wonderful , early opener . Paramedics and medical staff raced to tend to Gomis , who left the field on a stretcher and an oxygen mask after several minutes of treatment . Bafetimbi Gomis lies face down on the pitch after collapsing during Swansea 's game with Tottenham . Medical staff attended to the France international for four minutes before he regained consciousness . The French striker later tweeted in French and then English , saying : ' I wanted to reassure you concerning my health , it actually looks much more scary than physically dangerous and I am feeling well now . ' I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father health that requires me to go back and forth to France . ' I was disappointed that I could n't help my team tonight but now everything is back In order . ' I also want to thank everyone for their support and get well messages . ' Earlier in the evening , news emanated from the Swansea dressing room that it was nothing serious , with the 3-2 loss at Spurs one of several times he has fainted over his career . 'He is fine , ' Swans boss Monk said . 'Coming off the pitch he was fine , talking and he actually wanted to stay on the pitch . 'It 's something that we 're well aware of and it 's part of his history , but obviously he 's had all the checks . 'We knew about this when he came to the club . He 's had all the medical checks that you can possibly do and it 's just part of his life . It 's to do with low blood pressure . ' I did n't actually see the situation . Our physios went onto the pitch and they relayed the message but he was fine . 'Coming off the pitch , he was talking . He actually wanted to stay on the pitch but obviously precautionary wise , we have to make sure that we double check everything but we 're well aware of the history . ' Gomis , who has a history of blacking out , is taken off the field on a stretcher at White Hart Lane . Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentalib ( right ) holds his head in his hands as Gomis is taken off on a stretcher . Garry Monk revealed that Gomis wanted to carry on playing after collapsing . Monk is not sure whether Gomis , a summer acquisition from Lyon , lost consciousness or not in the incident which stems from a long-standing vasovagal condition . 'We 're all well aware of it , ' he said . 'He 's had every single medical check that you can possibly have , and he 's fine . It 's just part of his life . ' Despite that knowledge , the overriding feeling was still one of relief after the incident proved far less serious than first feared . Gomis has now gone to hospital as a precautionary measure , but Monk foresees 'no problem whatsoever ' with him playing their next match against Liverpool on March 16 . 'We 'll clarify now with the club doctor and see what we do from here , see whether we pick him up or he gets his own car back , ' the Swans boss added . Monk does not think the Gomis incident affected his players in the defeat at White Hart Lane - something backed-up by the fact Ki Sung-Yueng drew parity shortly afterwards .

Spurs went back ahead through second-half strikes from Ryan Mason and Andros Townsend , before Gylfi Sigurdsson 's late effort led to a nervy ending in what Mauricio Pochettino thinks was a deserved win . ' I 'm happy for the players because they deserve this victory , ' the Tottenham head coach said , 'It was a very important three points for us , I 'm happy for the performance , it was fantastic . 'It was 3-2 but we shoot many times and had more than 60 per cent possession - only in the last minute did we put risk in the game . 'We were lucky to have a big save from Hugo ( Lloris in stoppage-time ) - one of the best 'keepers in world . ' Pochettino also took time in the post-match press conference to wish Gomis a 'speedy recovery ' . ' A lot of years ago I had the same problem with team mate Oscar Garcia , who was manager of Watford and Brighton , ' he said . 'It 's a difficult moment because it 's your life . Football is not important when something happens like that . ' I was a player on the pitch and it was Oscar Garcia was my team-mate - he fell and then it was the same situation , but he was okay . ' Ki Sung-Yueng stole in to prod home from an acute angle for Swansea equaliser . Swansea 's Gylfi Sigurdsson reduced the deficit , volleying home a Jefferson Montero cross .
