BAN THE MASCOT! – Watford’s Harry the Hornet ‘out of order’ for diving joke, says Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce

Sam Allardyce has suggested the Football Association should take action against Watford's mascot for mocking Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha was booked for diving after going down inside the area in the 87th minute of Palace's 1-1 draw at Watford on Boxing Day, despite apparent contact from a Watford player.

And Harry the Hornet, known for various antics and interaction with home and away fans, had a dig at the Eagles forward after the final whistle - diving at Zaha's feet when the player went to applaud the Palace fans.
