United leave it late to beat Wolves

Sun, Nov 07 10 12:16 AM

A stoppage-time winner by Park Ji-Sung helped Manchester United close the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea to two points on Saturday as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Old Trafford.

South Korean Park had given United a first half lead but Wolves substitute Sylvan Ebanks-Blake replied after the break and it had looked like being a frustrating day for United who lost midfielder Owen Hargreaves five minutes into his comeback.

Unbeaten United moved above Arsenal into second spot with 23 points from 11 games, two behind Chelsea who play Liverpool on Sunday. Arsenal, who have 20, are also in action on Sunday against Newcastle United.

Tottenham Hotspur fell to earth with a thud after their midweek Champions League win over Inter Milan, losing 4-2 at Bolton Wanderers who moved above the London club to fifth thanks to two goals by Kevin Davies.

Bottom club West Ham United threw away a 2-0 lead at Birmingham City to draw 2-2 while Everton and Blackpool also shared four goals.

Asamoah Gyan scored twice for Sunderland in a 2-0 defeat of Stoke City while Fulham equalised late in a 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa. Blackburn Rovers beat Wigan Athletic 2-1.
