The Premier League have put themselves in an ’embarrassing and ridiculous situation’ after Everton successfully appealed their 10-point deduction, according to Arsenal legend Ian Wright.

Everton were deducted 10 points for breaking the league’s spending rules back in November – the biggest points penalty in top-flight history.

However, the Toffees appealed the penalty and earlier this week it was reduced to just six points, which has greatly increased the club’s chances of avoiding relegation this season.

This has all come at a time when Manchester City are being investigated for 115 breaches of financial regulations.
If found guilty, there has been much speculation over what punishment the treble winners could receive, with the possibility of getting relegated down the EFL a very real one.

But Wright is concerned that the recent events surrounding Everton have undermined the Premier League and will only play into City’s hands, who are confident they are innocent of any wrongdoing.

‘The Premier League made a mistake on two of the charges,’ the former striker said on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.
