Seamus Coleman headed a late equaliser as Everton returned from the international break with a frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Swansea City.
The visitors had not won since the opening day of the season when they triumphed 1-0 at Burnley and had lost their previous four away games in the Premier League. That tough start had seen the Welsh side swap the Italian Francesco Guidolin for experienced American coach Bob Bradley.
With Everton unbeaten in the previous eight Premier League games at Goodison - five wins and three draws along with being one of only four top-tier teams unbeaten on home turf in league games this season – expectation was high, but Blues boss Ronald Koeman had cautioned about the challenge the Swans would present.
