What does the phrase "out on their feet" mean?
90 min: Luton 3-3 Arsenal There will be six added minutes. Luton are out on their feet.

Hey Dwi,
Great question. If a team or a player is out in their feet, it means they have no more energy left. They ran, tackled, passed, etc. so hard that they cannot move. It is often used to say a team has played really well but look exhausted.

A guardian news report includes this phrase:
looking to close out a 2-1 scoreline. Some of United’s players looked out on their feet. But that was when the craziness started.
The United players looked exhausted but actually they then came back into the game
