Accepted later that one was like (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

took after

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

'one was like' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'accepted later' is the wordplay.
'accepted' becomes 'took' (I've seen this before).
'later' becomes 'after' (I've seen this before).
'took'+'after'='TOOK AFTER'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for took after that I've seen is " Resembled".)
