Feature of goal in remarkable pitch in attractive area (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magnetic field

'attractive area' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'feature of goal in remarkable pitch' is the wordplay.
'feature of goal' becomes 'net'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'remarkable' becomes 'magic'.
'pitch' becomes 'field' (I've seen this before**).
'net' put into 'magic' is 'magnetic'.
'magnetic'+'field'='MAGNETIC FIELD'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for magnetic field that I've seen before include "It can pull some objects" , "Attractive area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
