Premier League hand Everton new two-point deduction over PSR breach
Everton have been handed a new two-point deduction by the Premier League for breaking profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).
It is the second punishment the Toffees have faced this season, having already been hit with a six-point deduction, which dropped from 10 after an appeal.
Fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest were also hit with a points deduction for breaking PSR rules this term while Championship club Leicester City have been charged too.
Sean Dyche’s have dropped one spot in table to 16th – two points above the relegation zone – and they have seven games left as they fight to stay up.
