Arsenal joined Manchester City at the top of the Premier League on Saturday after leaders City suffered another afternoon of penalty woes in a 1-1 draw with Everton that ended their 100 percent home record this season.
Arsenal's 3-2 win over Swansea City, featuring a double from Theo Walcott, put them level with City on 19 points but Pep Guardiola's side remained as leaders on goal difference.
Tottenham Hotspur, who had started the day in second place, missed a chance to go top, needing an 89th-minute goal from Dele Alli to rescue a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion and protect their record as the only unbeaten side in the league.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola saw his side's perfect record disappear at the Etihad after Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero both had poor penalties saved by Maarten Stekelenburg in a game the leaders dominated.
"I don't have time to practice everything I want to practice," Guardiola conceded ruefully at the end of an international week. "Penalties you can practice in training, but training there is no one there."
City have now missed four of their eight penalties this season.
Romelu Lukaku made City pay in between the missed-spot kicks with his sixth goal of the season for Everton before Nolito headed the equaliser.

England international Alli, however, ensured Spurs remained unbeaten after the opening eight league matches of the season for the first time since 1990.
