Yield in unprecedented fashion (4)

I believe the answer is:

cede

'yield' is the definition.
('cede' can be a synonym of 'yield')

'in unprecedented fashion' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'CEDE' is hidden within 'unprecedented fashion'.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Yield formally" , "Surrender or yield" , "Surrender or grant" , "Transfer" , "21 across" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
