Gomis Honors France Victims with Emotional Tribute After Goal in Swansea Draw
Bafétimbi Gomis offered a touching gesture of solidarity following a tragic week in France. After scoring an equalizing goal for Swansea City in their 1–1 draw with West Ham, the French striker ran to retrieve a French flag, waving it in the air to honor the victims of the terrorist attacks in France earlier in the week.
Gomis, who inadvertently scored an own goal earlier but redeemed himself with a powerful header, made his emotional support clear: “All means are good to pay tribute,” he seemed to say with his action, a message that resonated far beyond the Liberty Stadium.
