Manchester City's Sergio Aguero has topped the Sky Sports Power Rankings this week.

The Argentine hit the first hat-trick of the Premier League season during a 6-1 demolition of Huddersfield at the Etihad, with team-mate Benjamin Mendy (No 6, down two places) assisting his third.

Liverpool's Sadio Mane (No 2, no move) made it three goals in two games, hitting 10-man Crystal Palace on the break during the closing minutes to secure a 2-0 win at Selhurst Park.

Everton's summer recruit Richarlison (No 3, no move) also maintained goalscoring form, netting his third of the season in a 2-1 over Southampton.

Bournemouth came back from a goal behind to secure a 2-1 win against West Ham at the London Stadium - with centre-back Steve Cook (No 4, up 26 places) heading home with a 66th-minute matchwinner.

Cardiff stopper Neil Etheridge (No 5, up 78 places) soared into the top 10 after saving his second penalty in as many games to salvage a point during a goalless stalemate against Newcastle.
