EVERTON have had their penalty for breaching Premier League financial rules reduced to six points following an appeal.
The Toffees were hit with a 10-point deduction last November after an independent commission found they had exceeded permitted losses under the league’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) by £19.5 million over an assessment period ending with the 2021-22 season.
An independent appeal board has now cut that by four points, which moves the club on to 25 points in the table and up to 15th place.
