Long eager to hit goals trail with West Brom

West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long is aiming to go on a goalscoring run.

Long opened his account for the season in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Chelsea after being preferred to Victor Anichebe to start at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I picked up an injury after the second or third game of the season and missed out for two or three games, and then the lads were flying, so it was hard to get back into the side.

"But I got the nod against Crystal Palace and then again against Chelsea, and I feel like I am playing well and hopefully I can keep my place in there.

"You can do so well on the pitch, but it's goals which keep you on there."
