Passes by Pele and headers from Shearer are simulated all over the place (7)
I believe the answer is:
elapses
'passes by' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'pele and headers from shearer are simulated all over the place' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'headers from' indicates taking the first letters.
'all over the place' is an anagram indicator.
The initial letters of 'shearer are simulated' is 'sas'.
'pele'+'sas'='pelesas'
'pelesas' anagrammed gives 'ELAPSES'.
(Other definitions for elapses that I've seen before include "Slips away" , "Passes (in time)" .)
