Goad, urge (3,2)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3,2

egg on

This clue is a double definition.

'goad' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'urge' is the second definition.
(to egg someone on is to urge them to do something)

(Other definitions for egg on that I've seen before include "Prompt" , "Encourage to act" , "this face is obvious embarrassment" , "Push" , "One cooking breakfast might have this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
