Relapsed badly after triumph, resulting in draw (5-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crowd-pleaser

'draw' is the definition.
(draw can mean something which draws crowds)

'relapsed badly after triumph' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'triumph' becomes 'crow' (both can mean to celebrate).
'relapsed' anagrammed gives 'dpleaser'.
'dpleaser' after 'crow' is 'CROWD-PLEASER'.

'resulting in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
