Park Chu-Young and Park Ji-Sung went head to head in England's Premier League on Sunday as Manchester United defeated Arsenal 2-1.
United's Park was a 77th-minute substitute and played a big part in the winning goal scored by Danny Welbeck.
The Korean midfielder was part of a clever one-two with Antonio Valencia who eventually squared for Welbeck to lash home an 81st-minute winner.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger threw Park Chu-Young onto the pitch with six minutes of normal time to go, in search of a reply but there wouldn't be one.
The Gunners substitute, making his Premier League debut, had little time to make an impact.
Meanwhile, in Germany's Bundesliga on Saturday, Koo Ja-Cheol missed several chances to score as Wolfsburg won 1-0 over Koln. Koo started the game but was replaced after 74 minutes.
In Scotland's Premier League on Saturday, Cha Du-Ri put in a fine 90-minute shift at right full-back as Celtic won 2-0 at St Mirren. Ki Sung-Yueng also started but was replaced after 58 minutes.
