Swansea City striker Bafetimbi Gomis has explained his French goal celebration for their draw with West Ham United.

The 29-year-old Frenchman celebrated scoring by running to the Swansea bench where he was handed a French tricolour, raising it aloft and looking to the skies in memory of those who lost their lives in the Paris terror attacks this week.

"It wasn't an easy week for all French people and I wanted to join my country even though I don't live there any more," Gomis told the official Swansea website.

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