Premiership round-up: Park to the rescue on Ferguson's anniversary

Park Ji-sung struck a stoppage-time winner to give Sir Alex Ferguson a perfect 24th anniversary present as Manchester United manager as Wolves were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford.

United old-boy Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had looked to have snatched a deserved point for his team, cancelling out Park's opener in the first half. However, the South Korean's run into the penalty area in the final seconds went unchallenged and he found the bottom corner of the net. Owen Hargreaves lasted just five minutes after starting for the first time since September 2008 before limping off with a hamstring injury.

Blackpool fought out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Everton. They twice led through Welsh pair Neal Eardley and David Vaughan but Everton hit back through Tim Cahill and Seamus Coleman.
