Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling has topped the Power Rankings this week.
The winger re-established City’s one-goal lead in the second half during a 3-1 win over Bournemouth after smashing the post from range minutes earlier, while Leroy Sane caused havoc down the opposing flank to retain runner-up spot.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (No 3) took centre stage in a pulsating north London derby, coolly slotting Arsenal ahead from 12 yards on 10 minutes and hitting a stunning second-half leveller before his side emerged 4-2 winners.
