Arsene Wenger: 'Santi Cazorla not to blame for Arsenal loss'

Arsene Wenger has insisted that Santi Cazorla is not to blame for Arsenal's loss to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, despite the midfielder missing a penalty.

The Spaniard could have salvaged a point at The Hawthorns when he stepped up to take a penalty late on, but he slipped on his run up, missing the target.

"I have seen a few but I don't really know what happened. You can talk to him and he is so disappointed and it is difficult to blame Cazorla for that," talkSPORT quotes the manager as saying.

The result leaves Arsenal fourth in the table, two point behind league leaders Leicester City.
