Team produces unexpected results? (4-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side-effects

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unexpected results?' is the definition.
'side effects' can be an answer for 'results?' (side effect is a kind of result). I'm not sure about the 'unexpected' bit.

'team produces' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'produces' becomes 'effects' (I've seen this before).
'side'+'effects'='SIDE EFFECTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for side-effects that I've seen before include "Unintended consequences" , "Undesirable consequences" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
