Winger turned, ran and moved like this? (8)

I believe the answer is:

dribbled

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

'moved like this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'winger turned ran' is the wordplay.
'winger' becomes 'bird' ().
'turned' is a reversal indicator.
'ran' becomes 'bled' ('bleed' can be a synonym of 'run').
'bird' written backwards gives 'drib'.
'drib'+'bled'='DRIBBLED'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dribbled that I've seen is " Drooled".)
