Park plunders golden goal

MANCHESTER UNITED returned to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Arsenal but although Alex Ferguson believes his team have now set the foundations for another title triumph, in truth neither side were able to put up a totally convincing case to show they are champions-elect.

On the face of it Ji-Sung Park’s 41st minute header, which leaves United top by two points and still unbeaten, is a huge result in a campaign that no one single team has been able to dominate, and United fans can rightly say they have the advantage.

But with Wayne Rooney missing a penalty and both teams struggling to put passes together, there were also enough question marks over the performance of both teams to suggest there is a long, long way to go before the destination of the title is decision.
