You could get partly blamed winning one (5)

I believe the answer is:

medal

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

'you' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'partly blamed winning one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dal' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'could get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
