UNITED: Park thrilled to score

Ji-sung Park was delighted to find the back of the net in United’s 3-0 win over Fulham.

/noticias.info/ The South Korean international hadn’t scored for the Reds since 31 March 2007, in his last game before a knee injury kept him out of the side until Christmas last year.

At Craven Cottage, Park leapt high to head Paul Scholes’ cross in off the underside of the bar and send United into the break 2-0 up.

“I’m so happy to get the goal,” Park told MUTV. “I really needed it because scoring gives you great confidence. You never know if you’re going to play but today was beautiful!”

Sir Alex rested a number of regulars on Saturday, but United looked comfortable for the duration of the match. Meanwhile, across town at the Emirates, Arsenal needed a late goal to salvage a point against Aston Villa.

“We’ve played really well during the last two games and really shown our quality. It’s been good to see different players come in and do well. The strength of our squad is great and the new players we signed in the summer have adapted very well.”

Despite moving to within a point of the Gunners at the top of the table, Park was determined not to get too carried away.

“It’s good to have closed the gap on Arsenal but we don’t worry too much about what they’re doing. We need to focus on maintaining our good performances and hopefully we can win the title again.” notas_de_prensa_archivo
