Sky Sports Power Rankings: Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson closes in on Romelu Lukaku

LUKAKU SIGURDSSON

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has kept his place at the Power Rankings summit after his four-goal haul against Bournemouth earlier this month.

However, the Belgian's lead at the top was cut drastically after failing to replicate that form during the Toffees' 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Team-mates Ross Barkley (No 7, down five places), Seamus Coleman (No 14, down three places) and goalkeeper Joel Robles (No 15, down five places) remained in the top 20.

Alfie Mawson (No 5, up 67) volleyed Swansea in front against champions Leicester before Gylfi Sigurdsson (No 2, up one place) assisted Martin Olsson to double the lead and claim a 2-0 win.

Manchester United trio Zlatan Ibrahimovic (No 4, up 13 places), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (No 8, up 12 places) and Chris Smalling (No 9, up 15 places) all made the top 10 after United's 2-0 win over Watford on Saturday.

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez (No 3, up 63 places) is the only Gunner in the top 30 after scoring a controversial opening goal to break the deadlock against Hull and converting a last-minute penalty.

Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus held his No 6 spot this week despite only playing 15 minutes before being substituted through injury during City's 2-0 win at Bournemouth on Monday.
