Watford mascot Harry the Hornet was 'out of order' for making fun of Wilfried Zaha, says riled Sam Allardyce

Sam Allardyce branded Watford's mascot Harry the Hornet 'out of order' for mocking Wilfried Zaha after the final whistle of his first game in charge of Crystal Palace.

Zaha was booked by referee Mark Clattenburg following a tangle with Miguel Britos inside Watford's penalty area towards the end of the two side's draw.

But as the winger strolled over to applaud Palace's travelling supporters after the match, Harry the Hornet took a comedy dive in front of him. Zaha, 24, reacted furiously to the jibe and had to be restrained by Palace staff and shepherded down the tunnel.
