Arsenal hero Martin Keown admits Tottenham coach Clive Allen has been chipping away at Arsene Wenger for years. The pair clashed at the end of Sunday's derby.

Keown told talkSPORT: "I think there's a little bit of history with Clive Allen.

"A few times in the past, and I've been privy to it, he's goaded Arsene Wenger, certainly in Martin Jol's time [at Tottenham].

"I think Wenger was just trying to avoid him really, feeling as he was after that game, and I think Clive was just trying to push the point.

"He wanted a bit of eye contact because he's just won a game or just been part of the team that's won a game. Clive should know better really.

"You're looking for him to be above all that, let's hope he is in the future."
