Park at the double as United sink unlucky Wolves

06 November 2010 18:30
Park Ji-sung struck a stoppage-time winner to give Sir Alex Ferguson a perfect 24th anniversary present as Manchester United manager - a 2-1 win over Wolves. United old-boy Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had looked to have snatched a deserved point for his team, cancelling out Park's opener in the first half. However Park's run into the penalty area in the final seconds went unchallenged and he found the bottom corner. United struggled to break down a Wolves side who were unlucky to fall behind just before the break. Darren Fletcher provided the pass of the first half, cutting in from the left before splitting Wolves in two with a brilliant through ball that allowed Park to finish. After a disappointing start to the second period, Wolves gained their reward for all their industry when Ebanks-Blake was in the right place to intercept a Milijas shot, turn sharply round Vidic, then drive a fine shot through the legs of Van der Sar. A golden chance then fell to Wolves replacement Steven Fletcher who found himself with a clear sight of United's goal following an ill-advised attempted clearance by Vidic. Instead of calmly finding the net, the Scotland international rushed his chance and scooped it over. Wolves thought they would at least be heading home with a point. Then Park cut inside the area from the right wing two minutes into injury-time, and drove his shot past Hahnemann at the near post.
