Get it Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis is in hot water after mocking a Middlesbrough player with a binoculars celebration - while Saints are being investigated for spying.
Harwood-Bellis stopped in front of Aidan Morris and performed the obnoxious gesture after Shea Charles' 115th-minute winner sent Southampton to the Championship play-off final. But Morris could have the last laugh because Southampton are at risk of being chucked out of the final due to the Spygate 2.0 scandal, which was exclusively uncovered by Daily Mail Sport.
And Harwood-Bellis - who is engaged to Roy Keane's daughter Leah - could face retrospective action from the Football Association for his cruel taunts. The one-time England international, 24, has already been on thin ice after Middlesbrough defender Luke Ayling accused him of 'discriminatory' language during the match. Ayling, whose stammer is reported to be the subject of the comments, flagged the alleged ridicule to referee Andrew Madley but has asked the FA not to pursue a case.
