The return of the Premier League was the highlight of the week, with quite a few matches catching the eye of most viewers.

One of the top football leagues in the world returned to action this past weekend, and it was only a matter of time before this competition gathered fans in big numbers to claim the top spot for ratings in football.

While there were many interesting games this weekend, the clash between Everton and Chelsea had the biggest following in terms of audience and rating. The runner-up spot went to the MLS, where the game between Atlanta and Seattle Sounders confirmed how in tune fans are with the domestic competition, even snubbing some of the world's biggest stars playing elsewhere.

The third spot in this ranking went to a Bundesliga match, which shockingly had other teams than Bayern München involved. The tie between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen was the one that kept fans glued to their seats last weekend, earning the German top-flight the third spot in our weekly ranking.

Let us have a look at the numbers last week brought us in terms of football games.
