The Cherries striker took off his shirt after scoring a goal against Swansea in the FA Cup fourth round.

Underneath his Bournemouth jersey was a t-shirt that read "R.I.P Donna" in tribute to Anthony's mother.

Bournemouth announced the passing of Donna last week with the south coast side wearing black armbands for their Premier League match against Liverpool in her honour.

Bournemouth were unable to find the back of the net on Sunday but after scoring five goals in the first half against Swansea tonight, Anthony's teammates paid tribute to his mother.

Solanke bagged the fifth goal for Andoni Iraola's side and made sure Anthony knew his teammates were thinking of him and his family.

Anthony is currently on loan at Leeds United, but it hasn't stopped his teammates back in Bournemouth from showing him love and support.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke paid tribute to the 24-year-old who came on as a substitute in the Yorkshire club's 1-0 win over Norwich last night after sitting on the bench for Leeds' victory over Preston at the weekend.

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."

Bournemouth wound up comfortable winners against the Swans on the night as they booked their place in the next round of the FA Cup.

Their five first half goals meant they didn't have to get out of first gear in the second half as they finished the game as 5-0 winners.
