Park thrilled with Man Utd matchwinning brace

Park Ji-sung was delighted with his double in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Wolves.

The midfielder was mobbed by his ecstatic team-mates after weaving inside to beat Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann in the 93rd minute, just when the Reds seemed to be slumping to a sixth draw of this league campaign. The roar around Old Trafford was deafening, but any eardrum damage will be taken in his stride by the South Korean.

"I'm very happy," Park told MUTV.

"We've got another three points and I've scored the winning goal in the last minute. I'm very happy with that.

"You can't compare this feeling to anything else, the feeling of scoring the winning goal in the last minute with the crowd all jumping up and shouting. It's an unbelievable experience, I really enjoyed that."

Park's masterpiece was really a solo goal as the actions of defenders in front of him forced him to keep running until the final fraction of space for a shot presented itself.

"At first, I wanted to cross the ball but then I cut back and I kept driving," he explained. "I was going to shoot but the defender went to tackle me. I avoided the tackle and shot, I scored and everyone was happy."
