Chelsea supporters were outraged that Manchester City were awarded a penalty in the first half of their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Why Everton face biggest ever Premier League points deduction
25.10.2023 - 14:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Everton could face a record-breaking 12-point deduction as the Premier League recommends a harsh punishment for allegedly breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
This would be the biggest points deduction in Premier League history, even more than Portsmouth's nine-point deduction in 2010 and Middlesbrough's three-point deduction in 1997. If found guilty, Everton, who are currently 16th in the Premier League table, would find themselves at the bottom with -5 points.
Even without such a heavy punishment, they are still among the favourites for relegation.

The Telegraph reports that an independent commission, not the Premier League, is reviewing Everton's case. The club is believed to have recorded financial losses of £371.8million - £266.8m over their budget.
Everton insists they've followed the rules and will "robustly defend" their position. They'll argue that exemptions, including those related to Covid, are responsible for their losses, with the club reported to be confident this will satisfy the independent commission.
Other penalties could include a fine, a transfer embargo or a less severe points deduction. Manchester City are currently second with 21 points and Manchester United are eighth with 15.
However, the Premier League wants a harsh punishment for the Goodison Park club, who are in the midst of a takeover saga. American company 777 Partners is buying Farhad Moshiri's 94 per cent stake in the club. According to the Mirror, the takeover will proceed as planned.
The Premier League announced Everton's alleged breaches in March but hasn't publicly commented since. They said:
