West Brom's Odemwingie loves Long's work-rate

West Bromwich Albion's Peter Odemwingie feels that the hard-working nature of his strike partner Shane Long will help the club score loads of goals this season.

The duo started together for the first time in the 1-0 win over Norwich City on the weekend and Odemwingie was impressed by how much work the former Reading man does.

"Shane is someone that motivates you to work harder as well because it's very easy to see how hard-working he is," said Odemwingie.

"He is there fighting for the team all the time. He is very good because he helps and makes things easier for me.

"I got really tired on Sunday but Shane helped me a lot. He works really hard."
