Swansea striker Wilfried Bony has revealed that he dedicated his two goals against Manchester City on New Year's Day to a friend who died from cancer, reports BBC Sport. The Ivory Coast international took off his shirt after the 3-2 defeat to reveal a message that read "RIP Anouk".
Bony said his friend from the Netherlands had died before Christmas.
"I lost my friend, she had cancer," said Bony, who has scored 12 goals for the Swans so far this season.
"She died last week. She is from Holland and it was for her I scored.
"It was good for me, because I wore the T-shirt in the last game and I didn't score because she died before that game.
"It happened before Aston Villa and I wore it again and I wanted to score and I scored two goals.
"The goals are for her."
