Everything is not as usual, now that the Premier League has resumed after the long corona defeat.

On the one hand, audiences are prohibited at the matches, nor have the English pubs opened to show the matches.

Previously broken the record

However, the matches can be seen on TV. And it turned out to be a great interest in it.

Yesterday's Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool attracted a total of 5.5 million viewers to Sky Sports, which was a new Premier League record. On average, five million viewers watched the match. It reports several foreign media.

The record was beaten by a wide margin. The previous record was set in April 2012, when four million people saw Manchester City's 1-0 victory against Manchester United.

Sky Sports is normally a pay channel, but yesterday's derby was free to watch.
