Bafetimbi Gomis made a bee line for the side of the pitch when scoring the Swans equaliser yesterday and grabbed a French flag as he showed his respect to those who so tragically lost their lives this week.

17 people were killed during the shootings during the week and this weekend almost a million people were expected to join in silent marches in memory of those who died.

"I wanted to join my country even though I don't live there anymore," he said.

"It wasn't an easy week for all French people.

"I am happy that Swansea supported me in this difficult time to provide me with the armband and the French flag to show my support towards my country."

Swansea manager Garry Monk was also in support as he told the Evening Post "Fair play to Bafe, he wanted to show the flag because of the shootings that happened in Paris

“I thought that was a really nice touch. Bafe is very passionate about his country and where he is from.”
