Park Ji-sung
United's 100% all-win start to the season ended as they weld held to a 1–1 home draw by their crosstown rivals, Manchester City. Ruud van Nistelrooy gave United the lead in first-half injury time, turning home from close range after David James had saved his first effort brilliantly. But United failed to take advantage of their supremacy, with van Nistelrooy and Park Ji-sung missing chances. And Joey Barton struck after 75 minutes, turning home Darius Vassell's effort.
