• South Korean ebullient following 3-1 destruction of Arsenal
• ‘We want to keep on winning to put Chelsea under pressure’

Manchester United are putting Chelsea under real pressure in the Premier League title race, the Old Trafford midfielder Park Ji-sung has said. The South Korean was among the scorers as United demolished Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates yesterday, a result that moved the defending champions within a point of Chelsea at the top of the table.

The Stamford Bridge club can extend their advantage with victory over Hull City tomorrow but Park believes that whatever the outcome of that match, United will be able to last the pace.

“We just want to keep winning, to put Chelsea under pressure,” the winger told United’s official website. “There is still a long time to go in the league, three months, so we just have to concentrate on our own performances. We can deal with the pressure. We will see whether they can.”

Wayne Rooney took his club goal tally for the season to 22 with a clinical finish against Arsenal and Park said his attacking team-mate has now become formidable to play against. “No one can stop him these days. He has been unbelievable,” said Park. “We lost Cristiano Ronaldo, but Wayne has scored a lot of goals and has helped the team a lot. It is a brilliant season for him.”
