Manchester United midfielder Ji-sung Park wants Sunday's win over Arsenal to trigger a run of form that will put the Red Devils' title rivals under real pressure.
The 3-1 win at the Emirates pulled Sir Alex Ferguson's side to within a point of Premier League leaders Chelsea, and Park - who scored his side's third goal - wants his side to test the Blues.
"We just want to keep winning, to put Chelsea under pressure," the South Korean told United's official website.
"There’s still a long time to go in the league, three months, so we just have to concentrate on our own performances. We can deal with the pressure. We’ll see whether they can."
Scoring at the Emirates is becoming something of a habit for Park whose delight matched that of the United fans on Sunday.
"I don't know why (I've scored in two games here), but I’m always happy to score. It’s good to start now and I want to get more," he explained.
"I was watching our fans when I went to play towards them in the second half. It was a great feeling to score at that end, and to run to their corner to celebrate."
Meanwhile, Park also added his voice to the chorus of praise being directed at England striker Wayne Rooney, who turned in another world class display at the Emirates.
"No-one can stop him these days," the Korean enthused.
"He’s been unbelievable. We lost Cristiano Ronaldo but Wayne has scored a lot of goals and has helped the team a lot. It’s a brilliant season for him."
