The past week was full of interesting matches to watch for fans in the United States, with the English Premier League being the undisputed ratings champion one more time.
Six matches for the English top-flight were among the most viewed in the country, with the clash between Bournemouth and Arsenal earning the honor of the most-watched of the week. Considering the English and Spanish feeds for this weekend, the match was seen by nearly 850,000 fans across the country.
The second spot in this ranking goes to Newcastle and Manchester City, who played out to a 3-3 draw on Sunday. The Magpies are looking like the real deal this time around, and their unbeaten run after three games confirms that notion. As for Pep Guardiola's team, they have secured one of the best offensive starts of the season with nine goals to their name, and that has seen them racking up good audience numbers every week.
The podium was completed by Chelsea and Leeds United, with the team led by Jesse Marsch destroying the Blues with a 3-0 score. It has not been a proper start for Thomas Tuchel's team, but fans are surely loving to watch them every week on U.S. TV, as they have made the top three for the second consecutive week.
Let us have a look at the numbers last week brought us in terms of football games.
