Got even with fast (4)

I believe the answer is:

tied

This clue is a double definition.

'got even with' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fast' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for tied that I've seen before include "Roped into diet" , "(Of pub) owned and run by a brewery" , "Made into a knot" , "Bonded" , "Restricted, bound" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
