Outplays the Toon after smashing finale of match? (7,5-3)
I believe the answer is:
penalty shoot-out
'finale of match?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'outplays the toon after smashing' is the wordplay.
'after smashing' is an anagram indicator.
'outplays'+'the'+'toon'='outplaysthetoon'
'outplaysthetoon' with letters rearranged gives 'PENALTY SHOOT-OUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
