Long convinced West Brom blew two derby points

West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long felt they blew two points for their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Monday.

The Baggies failed to close out the game when 2-1 up.

Long told Albion Player: "It's a killer blow, and especially after Chelsea as well, with us all but having the three points there (in their last outing West Brom drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge, where they conceded a stoppage-time penalty).

"We play good football, but we need to start learning from these mistakes and control the game when we get ahead.

"It was a disappointing night and we have to learn from it going into the Newcastle game (away on Saturday) and make sure we pick up three points."
