  Another larger banner included the message: ‘Where there is power, greed and money… There is corruption’.<\/p>\n

  There was also a significant reaction within Goodison Park ahead of kick-off as fans boo’d the Premier League anthem and then held the pink cards aloft again in the 10th minute of the game.<\/p>\n

  The points deduction has left Everton 19th in the Premier League table, five points from safety ahead of their game against United.<\/p>\n

  Toffees’ boss Sean Dyche called the punishment ‘unjust and disproportionate’ on Friday, but insisted it would foster a siege mentality among his squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

  Large groups of supporters gathered to show their fury amid the Premier League’s ruling<\/p>\n

  He said: ‘Like everyone, I was shocked. The enormity of it. Disproportionate is a word that has been used by the club.<\/p>\n

  ‘It doesn’t change the focus of sorting things out on the pitch.<\/p>\n

  ‘We were on the right lines for that and this has just given us a push backwards to go forward again. The final league table is the truth of a season.<\/p>\n

  ‘I told the lads that, for sure, it changes the viewpoint but it doesn’t change what we are doing.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

  The protests continued inside the ground as the Premier League anthem was booed before the pink cards were held aloft in the 10th minute<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

  Other banners showed the fans’ defiance in the face of the 10-point penalty that has left their team in the relegation zone<\/p>\n

  ‘We have to go harder for longer and stronger. It’s been more about refocus than anything. All the senior boys have rallied and said, “Let’s take on the next challenge”.<\/p>\n

  ‘There have been plenty of challenges since I’ve been here so let’s take it on. I don’t know every inch of what went on but I certainly believe in what the club has put forward.’<\/p>\n

  It comes as Mayor of Manchester and Everton supporter Andy Burnham called on the Premier League to ‘null and void’ the punishment, suggesting the investigation process has led to a ‘harsh penalty’.<\/p>\n

  Dyche’s side are currently on a three-match unbeaten run that has boosted hopes of pulling clear of relegation trouble – regardless of whether an appeal against the points deduction is successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
