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 before)
'pele and headers from shearer are simulated all over the place' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'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' after 'sas' is 'saspele'.
'saspele' with letters rearranged gives 'ELAPSES'.
(Other definitions for elapses that I've seen before include "Slips away" , "Passes (in time)" .)
