Everton FC Faces Uphill Battle Following Record 10-Point Deduction

Thousands of Fans Protest as Club Suffers Defeat in First Match Post-Penalty

Everton FC faces a daunting season following a 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules, which has left them five points adrift of safety in the Premier League.
Thousands of Everton fans protested against the penalty, marching to Goodison Park and displaying pink cards with the word 'corrupt' and the Premier League logo.
Despite a spirited performance, Everton lost 3-0 to Manchester United in their first match since the penalty was announced.
Everton's manager, Sean Dyche, has praised his team's character and resilience in the face of adversity.
The 10-point deduction is the largest in Premier League history, and has been widely criticized as disproportionate.
