Everton docked 2 more points by Premier League 

 
Everton was docked two more points for Monday because of its latest Premier League financial rules breach, pushing the team back toward the relegation zone with seven games in hand. 

Everton had already been hit by a six point deduction- reduced from an initial 10 following an appeal- for the club’s splurging in a three year period up to the end of 2021-22 season. 

This recent penalty came after the Toffees were found to have spent way too much in the three seasons up to 2022-23.  

As per the league’s profit and financial sustainability rule, a club is allowed to lose a maximum of 105 million pounds ($132.5 million) over a three year spell. 

Everton in effect, had already suffered punishments in 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, potentially explaining why its second points deduction was lessened. 

The deduction implies Everton drops to 16th place behind Brentford in the league standings and only two points above 18th place Luton Town. 

The team has been part of England’s top division football since 1954.
