LONDON, England (AP) — Park Ji-sung struck deep into stoppage time against Wolverhampton to secure Manchester United’s third successive Premier League victory, while Tottenham were brought back to earth following their European exploits by losing at Bolton yesterday.

Park netted his first goals of the league season to secure a 2-1 win over Wolves. The South Korea midfielder’s opener on the stroke of half-time was cancelled out by Sylvan Ebanks-Blake in the 66th.

United are now two points behind Chelsea ahead of the leaders’ match against Liverpool today.

Tottenham lost 4-2 at Bolton after failing to replicate the ruthless attacking display that saw holders Inter Milan beaten 3-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Also yesterday, Blackburn beat Wigan 2-1, Sunderland defeated Stoke 2-0 and Aston Villa were held 1-1 at Fulham, while there were 2-2 draws between Birmingham and West Ham, and Blackpool and Everton.

United’s match started badly when Owen Hargreaves limped off just five minutes into his first start in more than two years with an apparent hamstring injury.

The gloom was lifted before half-time when Darren Fletcher cut in from the left before splitting the Wolves defence with a throughball that allowed Park to put United ahead.

But former United trainee Ebanks-Blake was in the right place to intercept a Nenad Milijas shot in 66th minute, turn sharply to round Nemanja Vidic, then drive a shot through the legs of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Park, though, restored United’s lead in the third minute of stoppage time after cutting inside the penalty area from the right wing two minutes into injury-time and driving his shot past American goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann at the near post.

At Bolton, Kevin Davies’ double — including one from the penalty spot — along with strikes from Gretar Rafn Steinsson and Martin Petrov condemned Spurs to their second successive domestic defeat.

Spurs had threatened to make a late comeback after going down 3-0, with Alan Hutton pulling one back in the 79th minute and Roman Pavlyuchenko adding another.

But substitute Petrov added a fourth for Bolton in injury time as Gareth Bale failed to reproduce the impressive form he showed against Inter.

West Ham remain rooted to the bottom of the standings — two behind Wolves. The Hammers had gone two goals in front at Birmingham courtesy of Frederic Piquionne and Valon Behrami. But Cameron Jerome quickly pulled a goal back and Liam Ridgewell equalised.

Blackburn hauled themselves out of the relegation zone at Wigan’s expense. Jason Roberts beat the offside trap to divert Brett Emerton’s right-wing cross into the net and add to Morten Gamst Pedersen’s free kick opener. Charles N’Zogbia pulled one back for Wigan.

Stoke are only out of the bottom three on goal difference after being condemned to a 2-0 loss at Sunderland by Asamoah Gyan’s double. Stoke had captain Ryan Shawcross sent off, while Kenwyne Jones’ header was kept out of the goal by Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole’s arm.
