Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis paid an emotional tribute to the victims of the Islamist attacks in Paris after helping his Premier League side rescue a 1-1 draw against West Ham on Saturday.

Gomis set up Swansea's 74th minute equaliser when his header hit a post and rebounded into the net off unlucky Hammers midfielder Mark Noble for an own goal.

The 29-year-old France international turned away to celebrate and ran to the Swansea bench where he was handed a French flag, holding it aloft to show his respect for the 17 people who lost their lives in the horrific three-day killing spree in the French capital this week.

Gomis's touching tribute drew praise from Swansea manager Garry Monk, who said: "I thought that was a really nice touch.

"He is very passionate about his country and where he is from and that showed in his celebration and why he got the flag."
