One of the most interesting weeks in football came and went, and perhaps one of the best games in the season took home the honor of the most-watched match in the United States for the past seven days.
The game in question was none other than the roller-coaster ride of a game Liverpool and Tottenham gave us on Sunday, which saw the Reds taking all the points after a 4-3 win. In terms of audiences, over 730,000 English-speaking fans watched the game on USA Network, while over 300,000 Spanish-speaking enthusiasts followed the match on Telemundo, which means that over one million average viewers witnessed Sunday's showdown.
The runner-up spot went to another Telemundo match, this time being a Liga MX clash between Guadalajara and Mazatlán. Over 750,000 average viewers saw the game adding up the audience tallies between Telemundo and Universo, making it quite a successful broadcast for the Spanish-speaking network.
The third spot in this ranking went to another Premier League match. Manchester City's 2-1 away win against Fulham rounded up over 500,000 viewers that witnessed how Pep Guardiola's men kept a major advantage to win the Premier League title after Arsenal's fall from grace.
Here are the audience numbers for the rest of the games aired this past week. Networks are listed in alphabetical order.
