Southampton maestro James Ward-Prowse (No 5) scored his 14th career goal from a direct free-kick in the Premier League to move within four of David Beckham’s record haul before netting a second in open play from range during a 2-2 draw with Brighton.

Leeds winger Jack Harrison (No 4) retained a lofty standing after a three-game goal streak ended with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, with team-mate Illan Meslier (No 9) making a last-ditch double save to secure a point for his side.

How are the Power Rankings calculated?

The Power Rankings are based on points awarded to players for 35 different statistics – from goals and assists, to blocks and tackles. The standings take into account the number of points a player has earned up to the previous five matchdays of a season, with each previous game worth 20 per cent fewer points in incremental deductions.

Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son (No 6) tumbled five places from the summit following a goalless stalemate at Brentford, while Cristiano Ronaldo (No 10) remained among the elite after scoring his 100th career Premier League goal in a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.
