Ji-Sung Park celebrates scoring the winner against Liverpool

Manchester United midfielder Ji-Sung Park believes experience in dealing with pressure will be vital for the Red Devils during the title run-in.

Park's brave diving header against Liverpool won a vital three points for Sir Alex Ferguson's team.

Park told BBC Radio Manchester: "In the last three years we have experience how to deal with the pressure - and how to win the title."

The win left United two points ahead of Arsenal, and four clear of Chelsea.

Park said he was delighted to score the winner against Liverpool: "It was a great feeling, and against Liverpool, as it's such a massive game. We know even if we are losing 1-0 we still believe we can win, and get over that because it's at Old Trafford."

"We just kept on trying to concentrate on the game and at the end of the game we'd won."

The win moved United back to the top of the Premier League as Chelsea drew 1-1 at Blackburn Rovers.

Asked whether he thought the title race might go down to the final day Park said: "It could happen, but the title race has just seven games left so if we win every game we'll win the title. We believe in ourselves, and if we keep up our performances then we can do that."

"In the last three years we have experience how to deal with the pressure, and how to win the title."

United's next home league game is against Chelsea, and the result could decide where the title will end up.

"It will be very important for us and it'll be very important for Chelsea. But the game is at Old Trafford, so that's more of advantage to us," said Park.

"We beat Chelsea at home last season, so that gives the players more confidence. It will be a big boost if we beat them."
