Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal team-mate Santi Cazorla did not attempt to con the referee in their 2-0 win over West Brom.

Cazorla was accused of diving after Steven Reid’s first-half challenge resulted in referee Mike Jones awarding a penalty.

Furious West Brom manager Steve Clarke said the referee should have spotted there was ‘zero contact’ on Cazorla.

But Arteta, who smashed home the spot-kick to set Arsenal on their way to a first win in four, claimed: ‘Santi said he felt something. Even if it’s little, it is contact. The ref makes decisions, some right and some wrong.

‘Santi is not a player who dives. He felt something and changed direction, but he is not that type of player.’
