Nottingham Forest deducted four points for financial rules breach

Nottingham Forest have been deducted four points for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules (PSR), the league announced on Monday, moving the side into the relegation zone.

Forest had 25 points after 29 games this season, but after Monday's deduction they will drop to 21 points and move them into 18th place, one-point behind Luton Town.

It is the second points deduction in the Premier League this season after Everton were docked 10 points -- reduced to six after appeal -- for PSR breaches and face further punishment for another breach of the same time period as Forest.
