Two chances created in draw
Smith registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.
Analysis: Smith played the full 90 minutes at right-back in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle, delivering one accurate cross, making one interception and creating two chances as Bournemouth contained Newcastle's left-sided threat for the majority of the match. He was solid defensively throughout and helped Bournemouth maintain their lead well into the second half, with Smith's positioning limiting the space Newcastle were able to exploit down Bournemouth's right side. Smith has now started all three of Bournemouth's opening Premier League matches at right-back as manager Marco Rose's first-choice option in that position.
Two tackles in draw
Smith generated one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 23rd minute.
Analysis: Smith went the full 90 at right-back in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Everton, recording one interception, three clearances and two tackles while delivering Bournemouth's only accurate cross with his lone attempt. He put together a disciplined defensive showing, keeping Iliman Ndiaye and Tyrique George largely quiet down his flank while Bournemouth's attacking width came primarily through Rayan and James Kluivert on the opposite side. Smith has started each of Bournemouth's first two Premier League matches, establishing himself as manager Marco Rose's first-choice option at right-back.
