Abe's goat may cause destruction (8)

I believe the answer is:

sabotage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'destruction' is the definition.
(I know that sabotage is a type of destruction)

'abe's goat' is the wordplay.
'abe's goat' anagrams to 'SABOTAGE'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'may cause' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sabotage that I've seen before include "Disrupt" , "malicious damage" , "Scupper" , "Deliberate act of destruction or disruption" , "Treachery!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
