Leicester City's Jamie Vardy has topped the Power Rankings this week
The 32-year-old selflessly teed up Youri Tielemans before scoring his 100th goal for the club in the 78th minute and netting a second eight minutes later to secure a 3-1 win over Fulham.
Last week's table topper Virgil van Dijk slipped into runner-up spot after the Reds' 4-2 victory against Burnley on Sunday, with Sadio Mane (No 5) and Roberto Firmino netting doubles - while Trent Alexander-Arnold tumbled to No 8.
Raheem Sterling (No 3) hit a hat-trick in a 3-1 win against Watford to guarantee Manchester City top spot in the Premier League table going into the international break.
Southampton's James Ward-Prowse (No 4) scored his second free-kick in as many weeks to boost his chances of an England call-up this week - denting Tottenham's' top-four challenge with a 2-1 win at St Mary's.
Ayoze Perez (No 6) stormed up the chart after assisting Salomon Rondon's (No 11) opener and netting a late, quick-fire double to earn Newcastle a 3-2 win against Everton.
Raul Jimenez (No 9) broke the deadlock at Chelsea before Eden Hazard (No 10) scored a stoppage-time leveller, while Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku (No 7) crashed five places down the chart after a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.
