Socceroos left-back Brad Smith has made his long-awaited English Premier League debut for Bournemouth, playing nearly a full match in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal.Smith has been patiently waiting for his first league minutes since moving from Liverpool on a reported four-year $10.5 million deal in July.His chance finally arrived on Sunday following an injury to first-choice incumbent Charlie Daniels.Smith saw out 81 minutes in the defeat at the Emirates, his pace on the left flank an asset against the speedy Theo Walcott as the Cherries pushed Arsenal to the limit.The 22-year-old even found space to force Petr Cech into a first-half save at his near post, though Eddie Howes 12th-placed side ultimately fell to their third loss in four games thanks to an Alexis Sanchez brace and Walcott goal.Australian international goalkeeper Adam Federici also played a full game between the posts.While there was nothing a solid Federici could have done to stop the goals, the 31-year-old now carries the unwanted statistic of having conceded 17 in four games against the Gunners.Tough game today against a strong Arsenal team, thought we deserved more from the game, Smith wrote on Instagram.Thanks to the travelling fans were class.Smiths debut comes two weeks after the New South Welshman admitted his inability to crack Bournemouths well-established squad had already left him contemplating his future.The Liverpool academy product had hoped a smaller club would present more opportunities to play regular top-flight football, but until now had been restricted to two League Cup appearances.Its a patience game and I signed a good lengthy deal there so I just have to wait for my chance really, Smith said earlier this month in Bangkok, where the Socceroos drew their World Cup qualifier with Thailand 2-2.If I get a few chances Ill see how it goes from there, but I think after the end of the season Ill see whether its a loan (move) or I stay, or see what the other guy (Daniels) does.Smith is one of a worrying number of Socceroos lacking in game time with their clubs, a no-no for coach Ange Postecoglou that could affect their selection chances.In other weekend Australian action, Tom Rogic netted a left-footed stunner as Celtic claimed the Scottish League Cup and their 100th major trophy with a 3-0 win over Aberdeen.Jackson Irvine also scored his sixth goal of the season for English Championship side Burton Albion in a 1-1 draw with fellow Socceroo Bailey Wrights North End, while Mustafa Amini hit the back of the net in for Danish Superliga outfit AGF Aarhus.

WASHINGTON -- After the Baltimore Orioles put pitcher Chris Tillman on the 15-day disabled list as expected, manager Buck Showalter defended his decision to give his next start to Ubaldo Jimenez.The Orioles put Tillman on the DL on Wednesday with bursitis in his right shoulder and recalled right-hander Mike Wright. But Jimenez, who is 5-10 with a 6.94 ERA in 22 appearances this season, will start Thursday against the Washington Nationals.Tillman is 15-5 with a 3.76 ERA this season. Showalter mentioned him as an American League Cy Young candidate, and Jimenez knows hes facing pressure replacing him.Its never a good feeling when you have to take the spot when someone gets hurt, especially Tilly, the way he was pitching, Jimenez said. We really need him to be out there, but its part of the game.Showalter said Jimenez has the pedigree to fill Tillmans spot in the rotation, at least for one start.Hes probably tthe most equipped, Showalter said.dddddddddddd Hes pitched well here and against these guys. We looked at our options, felt like he was the one worthy of getting an opportunity.The 32-year-old is 4-0 with a 0.92 ERA in four career starts at Nationals Park.Vance Worley, who picked up his first major league save Tuesday in a victory over Washington at Camden Yards, could have been another option. But an outside alternative wasnt really a possibility.Im not going to get into critiquing what our other options are, Showalter said. I do know one thing. Everybodys getting blocked and claimed this time of year. We think Ubaldo is our best option right now.Wright was 3-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 11 starts for Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old is expected to fill a bullpen role for the Orioles. ' ' '
