Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week.

Boosted by his match-winning double against Brighton in mid-April, Zaha retained top spot for a second week running - despite playing out a goalless draw at Watford.

Team-mate James Tomkins (No 7, up four places) was the top-ranked outfield player at Vicarage Road, taking the Eagles' only shot on target and recording a match-high 18 aerial duels and 18 clearances.
