Independent commission

The Premier League: Everton FC on Friday received an immediate 10-point deduction by an independent commission for breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).

The punishment is the biggest sporting sanction in the competition's history and leaves Everton in the relegation zone with 19th place in the table. Before their points deduction, Everton were 14th in the league table, eight points above the bottom three.

Everton said the club is "shocked and disappointed" by the ruling of the Premier League’s Commission.
