A team never in front? (5)
I believe the answer is:
aside
'never in front?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'a team' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'a'+'side'='ASIDE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aside that I've seen before include "private" , "Remark not for hearing" , "remark, incidentally" , "(Pushed) out of the way" , "Quiet words spoken" .)
