Zlatan Ibrahimovic tops the Sky Sports Power Rankings

By Adam Smith

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has topped this week's Sky Sports Power Rankings.

The 34-year-old scored twice in United's 2-0 win over Southampton on Friday Night Football, having opened his Premier League account on the first weekend with a long-range strike against Bournemouth.

Hull's Curtis Davies may be a surprise name at No 2, but he stormed up 14 places with his man-of-the-match performance during the Tigers' 2-0 win at Swansea, registering three blocks, nine interceptions, five clearances, winning six duels and assisting Shaun Maloney's opening goal.

Sergio Aguero fired 20 places up the chart to No 3, converting a penalty and scoring a header during Manchester City's 4-1 win at Stoke. Team-mate Nolito also scored twice on his Premier League debut to enter the chart at No 6.

Chelsea's Diego Costa dropped one place to No 4 after snatching a late winner at Watford on Saturday, while Eden Hazard rose 10 places to No 7 after converting the Blues' first goal from the penalty spot.

Cristhian Stuani scored a wonder goal before bagging a second on his Premier league debut during Middlesbrough's 2-1 win at Sunderland to enter the chart at No 5. But last week's table-topper Philippe Coutinho plummeted to No 10 after collecting only 291 Power Ranking points during Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to Burnley on Saturday.

The Power Rankings methodology reflects a player's performance by awarding points to players for 32 different matchday stats.
