Stylish sports side eliminated (8,3)

I believe the answer is:

polished off

'eliminated' is the definition.
(polish off can mean to eat)

'stylish sports side' is the wordplay.
'stylish' becomes 'polished' (polished can mean stylish or refined).
'sports side' becomes 'off' (eg off side in football).
'polished'+'off'='POLISHED OFF'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
