Here, Press Association Sport studies five talking points from the weekend's action.
1
Pep's spot of bother
Having won his first 10 games in charge, Pep Guardiola is experiencing his first blip at Manchester City
Guardiola failed to win a home game for the first time as Everton relied on the goalkeeping brilliance of Maarten Stekelenburg to pinch a point in a 1-1 draw
City retained top spot, but on the back of a 3-3 Champions League draw at Celtic and defeat at Tottenham it is the first time questions have been asked of Pep
Especially when his side missed two penalties in a game for the second time this season
The lack of a killer instinct again could be severely punished against Barcelona in the Champions League this week.

Steady Eddie looks ready
Interim manager Gareth Southgate might be set to steer England permanently through the choppy waters caused by Sam Allardyce's sudden departure
But Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe seems every inch a future England manager as the ripening Cherries continue their impressive march up the Premier League
Bournemouth climbed into the top half - albeit briefly - due to a 6-1 demolition of Hull with Howe's brand of football easy on the eye
With the likes of Jordon Ibe, Junior Stanislas and Callum Wilson exhibiting pace and purpose, Bournemouth continue to defy the odds, and now have nine different goalscorers this season.
3
No ordinary Joe
Stoke manager Mark Hughes had complained in the week that Wales had 'compromised' Joe Allen's fitness during the international break
If that was the case, then Hughes might want to see Chris Coleman and company do the same in future
For Allen returned to Stoke colours to score both goals in a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, securing an overdue first Potters' win
It was the first time Allen, shining in a new number 10 role, had scored a brace in the same match and extended his tally to five goals in four games for club and country
Stoke might have had a difficult start to the season, but in Allen they have one of the Premier League's most under-rated talents.

Bob's got a job on to save Swansea
Bob Bradley, t he Premier League's first American manager, will be perplexed by some of the defending he saw on his English football bow, a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal which dropped Swansea into the relegation zone
Individual errors were to blame for all three Arsenal goals and Ashley Williams' excellence at Everton is a painful reminder of what their former captain was worth to them
Bradley has exciting attackers in Modou Barrow and Gylfi Sigurdsson but he knows he has to build a solid base from the back - or Swansea have no chance of staying up
5 North-east storm clouds gathering
Newcastle might be showing their clout in the Championship, but it is a far different story in the top flight
Traditional slow starters Sunderland appear abject under David Moyes with only two points from their first eight games
A horrible injury list has not helped, but there appears to be a distinct lack of confidence and quality at the Stadium of Light
Middlesbrough's only win this season came at Sunderland and a third successive home defeat - 1-0 to Watford - again underlined their glaring deficiencies
Goals have been hard to come by, with the 2-1 win at Sunderland the only time they have managed more than one in a game this season.
