Nottingham Forest have become the second Premier League club to be deducted points for breaching profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) after being docked four points over their finances on Monday.

"Nottingham Forest was referred to an independent Commission on 15 January, following an admission by the club that it had breached the relevant PSR threshold of £61 million ($77.6 million) by £34.5 million," Premier League said in a statement.
