First Posted: 12/8/2013 (AP) First-place Arsenal lost momentum in the Premier League Sunday, allowing a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw with Everton, while Fulham beat Aston Villa to give new manager Rene Meulensteen his first victory.
Arsenal failed to take advantage of its main rivals' stumbles on Saturday, as Everton substitute Gerard Deulofeu scored from a tight angle in the 84th minute.
With upcoming matches against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points. Chelsea lost 3-2 at Stoke and Manchester City was held 1-1 at Southampton on Saturday.
Arsenal nearly won in stoppage time, but striker Olivier Giroud's shot hit the crossbar. Seeking their first title since 2004, the Gunners got off to a strong start this season.
"As long as we are five points ahead you cannot rule ourselves out even with the best desire," manager Arsene Wenger said. "So let's keep that cushion. It shows you that it will be a tough Premier League and the consistency in the end will be rewarded."
Fulham had lost six in a row before beating Aston Villa 2-0.

ROME (AP) Mattia Destro came off the bench and scored the winner in his first appearance of the season as unbeaten Roma ended a streak of four draws with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in Serie A.
The win moved Roma back within three points of Italian league leader Juventus, which beat Bologna 2-0 Friday.
"We're following our own road and we're never going to stop fighting," Destro said. "We realize we're a great squad."
Gervinho set up right back Maicon to put Roma ahead seven minutes in at the Stadio Olimpico. Juan Vargas equalized for Fiorentina in the 29th minute.
Destro's winner came in the 68th after he also was set up by Gervinho.
Among Europe's major leagues, only Roma and Bayern Munich remain unbeaten. Roma visits Juventus in January.
Roma opened the season with a record 10 wins but had struggled in recent matches without 37-year-old captain Francesco Totti. On Sunday, Totti was on the bench for the first time since injuring his hamstring in October.
