Spurred (6)
I believe the answer is:
goaded
'spurred' is the definition.
('goad' can be a synonym of 'spur')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for goaded that I've seen before include "Provoked or annoyed into action" , "Prodded, needled" , "Prodded or spurred" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Sun.
