'Disgraceful' - Hodgson launches stinging attack on Watford mascot Harry the Hornet

After the Watford mascot appeared to mock Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, the Eagle's boss branded him "disgraceful".

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has warned "disgraceful" Watford mascot Harry the Hornet not to repeat his mocking of star player Wilfried Zaha.

The mascot saw an opportunity for 15 minutes of fame and dived onto the Vicarage Road pitch, behind Zaha, at the end of a 1-1 Premier League draw between the teams in December 2016.

Zaha has regularly been booked for simulation - he was shown a yellow card when the sides met again in April this year - although the Ivory Coast international appeared to see the funny side of Harry the Hornet's antics.
