( CNN ) -- Liverpool climbed back to the top of the Premier League Monday -- but it was made to sweat during a pulsating 2-2 draw with Swansea City . Liverpool , who had boasted a 100 % record going into the contest after winning all three of its league games , sits one point clear of Arsenal and Tottenham following the draw in south Wales . Jonjo Shelvey , the man who left Liverpool for Swansea in July following a $ 5 million move , was in the thick of the action from the very start . Gift . It took Shelvey just two minutes to fire Swansea ahead from close range before his mistake gifted Daniel Sturridge an equalizer soon after . Another poor pass from Shelvey allowed Liverpool 's on-loan winger Victor Moses to fire the Merseysiders in front nine minutes before the break . But the 21-year-old made amends in the second half , linking up with Michu , who fired home past Simon Mignolet for his first league goal of the season . Sorry . Swansea might have even won it late on but Liverpool held out for a point , although Shelvey felt his side should have had more . `` I just want to say sorry to the Swansea fans for the two bad mistakes that gifted Liverpool a draw , '' Shelvey told Sky Sports . `` You just want to go into a hole where nobody can see you when you give the ball away for the other team to score , but it has happened to great players over time . `` I showed a bit of character to keep getting on the ball . I still feel I have given Liverpool a draw but it was a great game to play in . '' Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers , who left Swansea to take up the reins at Anfield in June 2012 , revealed his relief after a hard fought encounter . `` I thought for the first 65 minutes we were very , very good with and without the ball . We had to show character after going behind so early , '' he told Sky Sports . `` This will be a really big point for us . '' Totti . In Italy , Francesco Totti scored his first goal of the season as Roma claimed a third consecutive victory to maintain its perfect start to the season . Totti , playing in his 22nd season with the club , helped Roma come from a goal down to defeat Parma 3-1 and join Napoli at the top of the table on nine points . Parma had taken the lead six minute before the break when Jonathan Biabany headed home from close range . But the visiting side hit back two minutes after the restart through Alessandro Florenzi before new signing Kevin Strootman set up Totti to score . And Dutch international Strootman sealed the points from the penalty spot five minutes from time after summer signing Gervinho was sent sprawling .
