Robbie Fowler blasts Santi Cazorla for dive

Former England forward Robbie Fowler accuses Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla of cheating during today's Premier League match against West Bromwich Albion.

Former England forward Robbie Fowler has accused Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla of cheating.

The Gunners were awarded a penalty kick during today's Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates Stadium, after Cazorla went to ground under pressure from Steven Reid.

Mikel Arteta consequently gave the hosts the lead from 12 yards, but Fowler believes that Cazorla had conned referee Mike Jones into awarding the spot-kick.

"It was not a penalty for Arsenal," Fowler told BBC Sport. "West Brom's Reid definitely did not touch Cazorla.

"There has been a lot of talk about diving, and I think Cazorla might be getting a call from the Football Association. He made a meal out of it."

Arsenal lead 1-0 at half time.
