Thursday 3 December 2015 14:19, UK
Everton midfielder Ross Barkley has topped the latest Sky Sports Power Rankings - with team-mate Romelu Lukaku in second.
Both players scored during the 3-3 thriller against Bournemouth on Saturday, along with Everton defender Ramiro Funes Mori (11th, up 37 places).
Tottenham striker Harry Kane and Leicester's Jamie Vardy - last week's top performers - both dropped three places to No 4 and No 5, respectively.
Vardy set a Premier League record of scoring in 11 successive games against Manchester United on Saturday, which helped the England forward retain his No 1 position in the Sky Sports Season Rankings.
Three Leicester players appeared in the Power Rankings top 10 for a third consecutive week, with Christian Fuchs (No 6, up 12 places) replacing N'Golo Kante (No 22, down 13 places), and Riyad Mahrez in 10th.
Sunderland defender Patrick van Aanholt stormed 68 places up the charts to No 3 after opening the scoring in the 82nd minute against Stoke, before Duncan Watmore (No 70, up 144 places) secured the win two minutes later.
The biggest riser in the top 10 was Crystal Palace midfielder Yannick Bolasie, who rose 88 places to No 9 after his brace in the Eagles' 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle.
Manchester City's Aleksandar Kolarov (No 7, up 74 places) and Liverpool's Alberto Moreno (No 8, up 31 places) also entered the top 10.
Sunderland goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon was the biggest riser from matchday 14, flying 270 places up the charts to No 54 after back-to-back clean sheets. Bournemouth defender Adam Smith (No 91, up 251 places) and Fabian Delph (No 88, up 208 places) also moved up the standings.
The Power Rankings methodology reflects a player's performance over the previous five weeks - with each preceding week worth fewer points. This means the Power Rankings reflect the in-form players of the moment.
