A second-half goal from Park Ji-Sung gave Manchester United a 2-1 win over arch rivals Liverpool to take them back to the top of the Premier League on a day which saw title rivals Chelsea slip up.
The Korean headed home bravely from close range following a superb Darren Fletcher cross to earn his side the points at Old Trafford. The bookies immediately reacted with odds on Chelsea replacing their manager!
