Crystal Palace have been deducted one point and fined £20,000 for fielding Rui Fonte after his loan deal from Arsenal expired.

The young forward was a 55th minute substitute against Sheffield United on the last day of the season, one day after he was supposed to have returned to the Emirates.

The point reduces the Eagles total to 56 but doesn't affect their league position of 15th, while £15,000 of the fine has been suspended for one season.

It is the second time Palace have been fined in the last nine months, having been made to pay £25,000 for breaching rules over the transfer of Nick Carle from Bristol City.
