Shane Long: 'Santi Cazorla was guilty'

Long: 'Cazorla was guilty'

West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long has slammed Santi Cazorla for appearing to dive during their defeat to Arsenal.

The Spaniard won the Gunners' first penalty of the match after going down in the area despite there looking to be no contact from Steven Reid.

The Londoners went on to win the game 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, but Long was left angered by the actions of Cazorla.

"Reidy has said he dived and you can tell by Cazorla's reaction that he is a guilty, guilty man," said Long.

"Everyone else on the pitch can see it except for the ref. I don't want to say too much on it because I don't want to get in trouble, but I feel like we were hard done by."

Albion host West Ham United in their next Premier League match on Sunday.
