Swansea City were denied a first win under Bob Bradley by an 89th-minute equaliser at Goodison Park this afternoon as Everton rescued a 1-1 draw on Merseyside.
Gylfi Sigurdsson's first-half penalty had looked like being enough to end Swansea's worst ever run in the Premier League, but Seamus Coleman broke the visitors' hearts to leave the Swans bottom of the Premier League table.
Bradley's side have now picked up just three points from the last 33 available, but they were the first to threaten this afternoon when Jordi Amat met a corner midway through the first half, only to steer his header narrowly wide.
A better chance arrived with five minutes remaining of the first half as Sigurdsson beat two defenders inside the area before tumbling to the floor under the clumsy challenge of Phil Jagielka.
Referee Martin Atkinson pointed to the spot, and Sigurdsson stepped up to take the kick himself, making no mistake by sending Maarten Stekelenburg the wrong way.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman had called for a response from his side following their 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea in their last outing before the international break, but they struggled to answer that demand as Swansea held firm in the second half.
However, the hosts did at least rescue a point late on when Swansea failed to clear their lines from a high ball into the box, allowing Coleman to send a looping header into the corner with just one minute of normal time remaining.
There was no time to respond for the Swans as they made it 11 league matches without a win - their worst run of form since 2000, when they were in the third tier of English football.
Results elsewhere made the late equaliser even more damaging for Bradley's side, with Sunderland's victory over Hull City seeing Swansea sink to the bottom of the table having equalled the worst start to a league season in their history.
Everton, meanwhile, will also be disappointed with the result having now won just one of their last seven league games, although they remain level on points with Manchester United in seventh.
