Lets us riot and fight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tussle

'fight' is the definition.
(tussling is a kind of fighting)

'lets us riot' is the wordplay.
'riot' indicates an anagram.
'lets'+'us'='letsus'
'letsus' anagrammed gives 'TUSSLE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tussle that I've seen before include "Grapple" , "A struggle or conflict" , "Struggle or wrestling match" , "Wrestle, scuffle" , "Vigorous struggle or scuffle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
