Along with his fellow Swansea City team mate, Allen was the subject of taunts because of his club allegiance but the young midfielder said although they were expected he did not let it affect his performance in Wales’ 3-0 win over Scotland.
“I was expecting it, but it was an interesting feeling to be playing for your country in a home game and get that sort of reaction,” he told the Evening Post
“It didn’t affect me. I was expecting it and it was more banter than anything. It was still a proud moment to play for Wales.
“Maybe they’re still worrying about the victory we had against them because it wasn’t long ago.
“It would be nice to be encouraged and I don’t think the whole crowd was booing me, there was support there.”
“It was a masterclass to follow and difficult for me to come on in the same position,” said Allen who replaced man of the match Aaron Ramsey in the second half
“I could learn a lot from watching his first-half performance, and it was a great experience for me to come on and be involved for my second cap.
“It wasn’t my greatest performance, but I’m hoping with experience this will be a level I’m able to cope with in the future.
“It was a fantastic performance. To be 3-0 up against the Scots at half-time is maybe something the Welsh haven’t been used to recently, but I thought it was deserved,” said Allen.
“The midfield diamond worked perfectly, the payers suited every position and that line-up, although it’s young, it’s very strong on paper.
“We’re a young, ambitious squad and hopefully that’s the shape of things to come.”
