Everton’s punishment for breaching Premier League financial rules has been reduced from 10 points to six after an appeal.
The club were immediately docked 10 points in November for breaching profit and sustainability rules (PSR) in the three-year period to 2021-22.
The punishment – the biggest in Premier League history – took Everton from 14th to 19th in the table. The reduction in the ban lifts them from 17th to 15th.
Everton, who admitted to the breach, said they are “satisfied” with the reduction.
English top-flight clubs are permitted to lose a maximum of £105m in a three-year spell, or £35m per season.
Everton, who have not won in the league win since 16 December, are now five points clear of the relegation zone with 12 games remaining.
