Everton's penalty for breaching Premier League financial rules reduced to six points
Club immediately docked 10 points in March
Everton have had their penalty for breaching Premier League financial rules reduced from 10 points to six after an appeal. The club were immediately docked 10 points in March after an independent commission found they had overstated their profits in their accounts for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
Everton appealed the decision to the Premier League's appeals panel, which met on Thursday to consider the club's case. The panel has now decided to reduce the punishment to six points.
The decision means Everton are now 16th in the Premier League table, four points clear of the relegation zone. The club have 10 games remaining in the season.
