Garry Monk has backed Bafetimbi Gomis to continue has current goalscoring run for Swansea City for the rest of the season.

The French striker scored twice during the team's 3-1 win over Hull City in the Premier League yesterday, leaving him with three goals from his last two outings for the club.

The manager told BBC Sport: "I can only see more goals for Bafe coming. This is the reason why I brought him in, he can score goals in the Premier League.

"Goals always breed confidence in strikers. I had no problem at all even when he wasn't scoring at the start of the season. He has the quality, which I knew all along. It's really pleasing to see him score these goals.

"He's played in the Champions League and scored 20-plus goals nearly every season in his career. He's a top class striker and he scores different types of goals. I think you saw that from his finishes [against Hull] and the finishes he's done before."

Gomis has scored eight goals in all competitions since joining Swansea in the summer.
