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

The 25-year-old scored twice during the Eagles' 3-2 win against fellow strugglers Brighton, while team-mate Luka Milivojevic (No 5, up one place) almost netted his 11th goal of the season before Zaha tapped it over the line.

Newcastle midfielder Ayoze Perez climbed two places into the No 2 spot after scoring in his third successive game during a 2-1 win over Arsenal at St James' Park on Sunday.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (No 3, down one place) scored his 30th league goal of the season in a comfortable 3-0 win over Bournemouth, with fellow winger Sadio Mane (No 6, up nine places) opening the scoring at Anfield.

Last week's table-topper Christian Eriksen (No 4, down three places) slipped down the chart after having one of his goals from last week chalked off and credited to Harry Kane - but the Dane netted a consolation during Spurs' 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez (No 8, down three places) also took a tumble after Manchester United suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to rock-bottom West Brom, with Jay Rodriguez (No 7, up 22 places) netting the decisive goal - a result that handed City the title.

Olivier Giroud came off the bench to help Chelsea overturn a two-goal deficit and claim a 3-2 win at Southampton with two goals in eight minutes - either side of Eden Hazard scoring his 12th league goal this term.
