English appeal over draw (3)
I believe the answer is:
tie
'draw' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'english appeal over' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'appeal' becomes 'it' ('it' can mean something attractive or appealing).
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'e'+'it'='eit'
'eit' backwards is 'TIE'.
(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "11 [KNOT]" , "Join, link" , "Fasten, link to" , "Bond, link" , "Obligation" .)
