I believe the answer is:

kickback

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

'there's response' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'foul defender' is the wordplay.
'foul' becomes 'kick' (type of football foul).
'defender' becomes 'back' (I've seen this before).
'kick'+'back'='KICKBACK'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kickback that I've seen before include "Underhand payment" , "(Illicit) confidential payment to facilitator" , "Forceful recoil" , "special gift" , "Bribe - recoil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
