Dominic Solanke has paid an emotional tribute to the mother of teammate Jaidon Anthony, who passed away last week.
Solanke displayed his support for Anthony after finding the back of the net in Bournemouth's 5-0 win over Swansea City in their FA Cup 4th Round encounter.
Dominic Solanke took off his shirt after scoring the last goal for the Cherries in their smashing victory over the Championship side.
Beneath his jersey was a t-shirt that read: “R.I.P Donna” which was a tribute to Jaidon Anthony's mother.
Bournemouth announced the death of Donna in the previous week with the English club donning black armbands for their Premier League clash against Liverpool in honor of the deceased.

The 24-year-old has made 21 appearances for the Peacocks, scoring 1 goal and providing no assist in all competitions.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke also paid tribute to the left winger's mother, whose son was introduced in the club's 1-0 victory over Norwich City on Wednesday, January 24, 2024.
Farke lauded Anthony and indicated that the Englishman has the full support of the club.
Daniel Farke said: “We are a family at Leeds United and when there are tough times we have to be there.
“Jaidon is a brilliant lad, a brilliant team-mate, and all our support, help, and thoughts this week are there for him.
“We are happy that he was really willing to be back in training to help us, and also to attend today [against Preston] to help us achieve these three important points.
“All our thoughts and support are with him and his family.”
