Mauricio Pochettino warns Harry the Hornet that Dele Alli will sting like a bee if mascot repeats infamous antics

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has warned that there will be a sting in the tail for Harry the Hornet if the Watford mascot repeats his mischief-making against Dele Alli.

Harry the Hornet irritated new Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce on Boxing Day when he dived in front of Wilfried Zaha at the end of the game. The mascot was mocking the winger after he had been cautioned by the referee for simulation.

Alli went to ground easily to win a penalty over Swansea at the start of the month but Pochettino is sure that Harry the Hornet will behave himself at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
