Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains goal against Bournemouth was expertly taken. Allowing Aaron Ramseys pass to roll across him, the England international fired a fierce right-foot shot in off the far post, giving keeper Artur Boruc no chance. Coming just 88 seconds after Mesut Ozils opener, Oxlade-Chamberlains strike put Arsenal well on course for their first win in four - and a crucial three points in the Premier League title race.Thats an amazing finish, Thierry Henry - a man who knows a thing or two about scoring impressive goals for Arsenal - said in the Sky Sports studio. However, the goal also served as a reminder of why Oxlade-Chamberlain remains such a frustrating talent.That was the 22-year-olds first goal in over 16 months. He hasnt even managed an assist in over 13 months. His output simply doesnt stack up in comparison to his ability.The reason why he doesnt start often is that he needs to do that week-in, week-out, said Henry.Indeed, Sunday was only Oxlade-Chamberlains eighth start of the season. Nine Arsenal midfielders and attackers have been used more frequently from kick-off. Aaron Ramsey congratulates Oxlade-Chamberlain on his goal He was an unused substitute in Arsenals 0-0 draw with Southampton and Henry doesnt believe boss Arsene Wenger sees Oxlade-Chamberlain as a reliable match-winner right now.Wenger must have looked at the game [against Southampton], and thought that they couldnt win it, so made sure they were not going to lose, he said. You have to question whether Oxlade-Chamberlain has done enough to justify Wenger giving him five minutes to change the game.How long are we going to say he is a prospect? He has been there four-and-a-half years.Oxlade-Chamberlains numbers this season - in comparison to Arsenals other midfielders and attackers - dont make good reading. Oxlade-Chamberlain vs Arsenals other midfielders & attackers PL 2015/16 Oxlade-Chamberlain Rank vs Arsenals other midfielders/attackers Games played 21 4th Games started 8 10th Goals 1 7th Assists 0 T8th Big chances created 3 7th Chances created 16 T6th Six have scored more goals, seven have made more assists, six have created more clear-cut chances. If Oxlade-Chamberlain is competing for one of three positions behind Olivier Giroud in Arsenals 4-2-3-1 formation, its clear Wenger has many other options to consider.Of course, injuries havent helped. Groin and hamstring problems caused Oxlade-Chamberlain to miss significant game time in the second half of last season, while a thigh strain led to a short absence in November this term.Wenger also revealed in September he believes the player has a lack of confidence.His dad said he lacks a bit of self-belief and I can confirm that because he is very critical of himself, said the manager. Thats positive and a sign of top-level sportsmen, but you have to find the right balance of being not happy with what you do without harming the confidence.While injuries are hard to control, Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness believes Oxlade-Chamberlain should aim to adjust his attitude. England and Arsenal team-mates Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain go head-to-head in this 60-second doodle challenge. Souness says its time for Oxlade-Chamberlain to seize the opportunity he has at Arsenal, make the most of his talent and force himself into a key role for the team.Does he take it seriously enough? He always seems to be the joker, Souness said. There is a player in there but it is time to stand up and be counted.With the quality he has, he should not be happy to sit on the bench and be a bit-part player. He should be banging down the managers door and asking why he isnt in the side. Is he prepared to do that? With the quality Oxlade-Chamberlain has, he should not be happy to sit on the bench and be a bit-part player. Graeme Souness I see him laughing a lot, but Id want him to be more serious, and angry at me as a manager for not playing him, if I was Wenger.At 22, it is time to stand up, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and say this is my moment. I am going to be a serious player.As Arsenal bid to end their 12-year wait for the Premier League title, Oxlade-Chamberlain has a lot to offer. Now he needs to deliver on a consistent basis.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Raul Mondesi celebrated an unforgettable 21st birthday.Mondesi had two infield singles, leading to four runs and two pitchers throwing errors -- plus a protest by the Los Angeles Angels -- as the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 7-5 victory on Wednesday night.Mondesi had a bunt single for his first big league hit, with two runs scoring on the play on pitcher Matt Shoemakers throwing error in the seventh inning.This one I enjoy, Mondesi said of his birthday. Playing with these guys, this is amazing.Shoemaker, who did not allow a base runner until the fifth inning, yielded singles to Alex Gordon and Paulo Orlando to start the seventh. Mondesi, called up Tuesday, put down a bunt and beat the throw to first as the throw by Shoemaker (5-11) sailed into right field.Both runners scored and Mondesi wound up on third.Thats part of my game, Mondesi said of bunting. I like it. I enjoy bunting and with that throw we score two runs.Angels manager Mike Scioscia came out claiming interference, that Mondesi was not running within the lines, and after a 6 minute, 15 second review the call on the field was not changed. Scioscia officially protested the game.Royals manager Ned Yost said there is no way the protest would be upheld.You cant protest a judgmental call, Yost said. Ive never protested a game. Ive never been part of a game that was protested.Scioscia had a completely opposite viewpoint, saying he is 100 percent certain the protest would be upheld.Its not a judgement call, Scioscia said. I would not have protested if I was not 100 percent correct on this. This is a misinterpretation of a rule. It was very clear. Phil Cuzzi, the home plate umpire, had Mondesi running inside the line in jeopardy the whole way, and stated that its okay because he was stepping back toward the bag, which is wrong.Jarrod Dyson rifled a triple to right, scoring Mondesi and making all the runs earned. Dyson scored on Alcides Escobars sacrifice fly.Mondesi added a run-scoring infield single in a two-run eighth. The second run scored on pitcher Jose Alvarerzs throwing error.Joakim Soria (4-4) pitched a scoreless inniing for the win after replacing left-hander Danny Duffy in the seventh.dddddddddddd. Duffy allowed three runs on seven hits, while walking two and striking out five.Shoemaker was charged with five runs on eight hits in six-plus innings.Albert Pujols walked with the bases loaded with one out in the ninth and Andrelton Simmons singled in another run before Wade Davis struck out Jett Bandy to end the game.Gordon and Orlando each contributed three hits. Orlando had two doubles and a fifth-inning RBI.Jefry Marte had two doubles and a RBI for the Angels, while Johnny Giavotella had his second consecutive three-hit game.ROYALS MEETINGWith several Royals names surfacing in trade rumors, Yost addressed it in a team meeting. These guys are a real, real close group, Yost said. They know that this trade deadline (Monday) is bearing down on them. They dont want to see anybody leave that room. They want to see us all continue to stay together. Thats adding a little bit of anxiety and urgency to their game. But sometimes it can be a little too much. Theyre trying to make things happen, instead of letting things develop. Just catch your breath.OUTFIELD DEBUTGregorio Petit, who had only played the infield professionally, started in left field for the Angels. Were trying to get another right-handed bat in there and get Greg some at-bats, Scioscia said. Hes been working out there for the last two months.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: OF Shane Robinson (sprained right ankle) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Class-A Inland Empire in the California League.Royals: OF Lorenzo Cain (strained left hamstring) went 1 for 4 with a single and a strikeout while playing seven innings in right field.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Jered Weaver will start Thursday at Anaheim against the Red Sox, who will counter with LHP David Price.Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura, who lost to the Rangers on Saturday, will face them again Thursday in the opener of a four-game series at Arlington.
