It was an interesting week in terms of ratings for football games in the United States, with all top spots in that ranking being occupied by Premier League matches.
Surprisingly, the match with the highest number of average viewers included Brentford and Tottenham, who played out to a goalless draw last Saturday. The game with the second highest tally featured Liverpool and Everton, a game that ended with a two-nil win for the Reds. Last, but not least, fans poured to watch Arsenal hosting Manchester United in an early kickoff game, with nearly 500,000 fans watching how the Gunners claimed a 3-1 victory over Ralf Rangnick's men.
One of the matches that stood out in this list was the NWSL game between the North Carolina Courage and the Washington Spirit. The NWSL match ended in an exciting two-all draw, but the real deal came for the Spirit, who qualified to the final stages of the competition at the expense of the Portland Thorns, the 2021 champions.
