Everton was initially penalized with a six-point deduction, but the club's lawyers successfully delayed the case until after the start of the next campaign.

As a result, Burnley was able to claim back the money they lost out on due to Everton's breach.

Burnley finished the 2021-22 season just three points from safety, and this payment will be a significant boost ahead of their next season in the Championship.

The club plans to use this money in the summer transfer window as they seek to return to the Premier League next season.
