Seamus Coleman salvaged a point for Everton with an 89th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Swansea City on Saturday at Goodison Park.Both clubs came into the contest hoping to claim three points after Everton (5-4-3) were blasted by Chelsea prior to the international break, while Bob Bradleys Swans put in an admirable shift in taking a point against Manchester City.This clash saw Bradley looking for his first win as a Premier League manager, and it was his club that had the better opportunities early. Gylfi Sigurdsson nearly gave Swansea (1-3-8) the lead in the 21st minute after his free kick from 20 yards was earmarked for the top right, but Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg did well to parry it away.Swansea broke the deadlock four minutes before the break when Everton captain Phil Jagielka pulled Sigurdsson down in the box, resulting in a penalty kick which the Iceland international converted with ease.Everton had the better of the play in the second 45 minutes as manager Ronald Koeman made a pair of attack-minded substitutions, bringing Gerard Deulofeu into the game in the 65th minute. Jagielka was removed for striker Enner Valencia seven minutes from time.A draw seemed a likely result, but Coleman found himself in good position to nod a loose ball in behind Lukasz Fabianski to secure a point and deny Bradley that elusive victory.
