Everton have officially been handed a 10-point deduction, effective immediately, for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. The Toffees were referred to an independent commission in March for alleged breaches relating to the 2021\/22 season before a hearing took place last month.<\/p>\n
The Premier League have since confirmed that Everton have been punished with a 10-point deduction, which sees them drop to 19th place in the table. They are now sitting on just four points and only find themselves above bottom club Burnley on goal difference.<\/p>\n
An official Premier League statement read: “An independent Commission has imposed an immediate deduction of 10 points on Everton FC for a breach of the Premier League\u2019s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).<\/p>\n
“The Premier League issued a complaint against the club and referred the case to an independent commission earlier this year. During the proceedings, the club admitted it was in breach of the PSRs for the period ending season 2021\/22 but the extent of the breach remained in dispute.<\/p>\n

That sanction has immediate effect.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Everton-stadium-logo-5071589.jpg?r=1700224940112\"){kind=logo}
