Everton deducted two points for second breach of financial rules
Everton have been given an additional two-point deduction for a breach of the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) for the period ending season 2022/23, it was announced Monday. This decision followed a previous six-point PSR penalty imposed on Everton and left the Merseyside club just two points above the relegation zone with seven league games left to play this season.

Everton have received a two-point deduction, their second points cut this season, after the club's appeal against a Premier League charge for a breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) was unsuccessful, the league said on Monday.
The independent commission heard evidence and arguments from the club on a range of potential mitigating factors for its admitted breach of 16.6 million pounds ($21 million), including the impact of its two successive PSR charges, the league said.
"The commission determined the appropriate sanction to be a two-point deduction, taking effect immediately," it said in a statement.
