'jealous' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'three points victory 1-0 by united brought in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'points' could be 'en' and 'en' is present in the answer.
'victory' could be 'v' and 'v' is located in the answer.
'1' could be 'i' (roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'0' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'united' could be 'u' and 'u' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.
