Sam Allardyce wants action against Watford mascot for mocking Zaha

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

Zaha went down inside the area in the 87th minute of Palace's 1-1 draw at Watford on Boxing Day, but despite contact he was booked for diving by referee Mark Clattenburg. That denied Palace of a second penalty in the match as former England manager Allardyce had to settle for a point from his first game in charge.

Mascot Harry the Hornet got involved after the final whistle, diving at Zaha's feet when the player went to applaud the Palace fans.
