Too slow! Southampton mascot mocks Cesar Azpilicueta by rejecting handshake in the tunnel before Saints' Premier League match against Chelsea, leaving Spaniard stunned

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta was mocked by a Southampton mascot in the tunnel before the teams' Premier League fixture this evening.

As the Spaniard prepared to lead his team out at St Mary's, the youngster, about to walk out with Saints captain James Ward-Prowse, went for a handshake, to which Azpilicueta obliged.

However the mascot proceeded to remove his hand before Azpilicueta made contact, instead wiggling his hand from his nose, leaving the 33-year-old stunned and confused as to what had happened.
