Secures extraordinary saves (7)

I believe the answer is:

rescues

'saves' is the definition.
(rescuing is a kind of saving)

'secures extraordinary' is the wordplay.
'extraordinary' indicates an anagram.
'secures' is an anagram of 'RESCUES'.

(Another definition for rescues that I've seen is " Saves from danger".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
