Everton versus Liverpool broke 8-year Premier League record on top flight's arrival

The Reds come back to activity was one of the most foreseen as the English top flight made its arrival a week ago, with a derby at Goodison the ideal setting.

Be that as it may, while the game end up being not exactly engaging, happening to a 0-0 draw with not many possibilities at either end, it despite everything pulled in record-breaking watchers.

As a feature of the Premier League's concession to the resumption of the crusade, Everton versus Liverpool was made allowed to-air by Sky Sports.

This brought about a pinnacle of 5.5 million watchers for Sunday's impasse, with a normal of 5,000,000 over the hour and a half, which makes it the most-watched Premier League game in UK history.

Already, the record was the Manchester derby in April 2012, with 4,000,000 watching Man City's 1-0 triumph over title rivals Man United.
