MANCHESTER United conceded two stoppage-time goals to draw 3-3 at Everton, while Chelsea maintained the perfect start to its title defense by beating West Ham United 3-1 in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Even with Wayne Rooney rested amid newspaper stories about his private life, United led 3-1 in the 90th minute, with goals from Darren Fletcher, who cancelled out Steven Pienaar's goal for the host, Nemanja Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov. But Tim Cahill sparked Everton's comeback with a headed goal and Mikel Arteta had time to grab an equalizer.
Chelsea had no difficulties seeing off West Ham, which is still without a point after four matches.
Arsenal is two points behind Chelsea in second after routing Bolton Wanderers 4-1, while big-spending Manchester City was held 1-1 by Blackburn Rovers to collect only one point from its last two matches.
Tottenham Hotspur was held 1-1 by West Bromwich Albion, as was Sunderland at Wigan Athletic, while Blackpool won its second match since being promoted, beating fellow newcomer Newcastle United 2-0.
Fulham's 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers came at a cost, with Bobby Zamora injuring his leg to be ruled out for four months.
Chelsea's fourth straight win never looked in doubt when Michael Essien headed in after two minutes and Salomon Kalou scored with a ricochet from a clearance by defender Matthew Upson in the 18th.
Essien scored Chelsea's third before Scott Parker hit a late consolation goal for the host.
At Emirates Stadium, Laurent Koscielny scored his first goal for Arsenal in the 24th, but the French defender's poor header allowed Johan Elmander to level just before the break. Marouane Chamakh restored Arsenal's lead in the 58th. A tackle from behind on the Morocco striker resulted in Gary Cahill being sent off in the 64th.
