nounbackpass (plural backpasses)
plural backpasses
- alternativeAlternative form of back pass.
Despite ceding the majority of possession to Van Gaal’s clearly superior side, a defeat facilitated by Mehdi Abeid’s backpass was arguably a little harsh on a Newcastle team who might have had an early penalty before seeing Emmanuel Rivière and Cissé spurn fine counter-attacking chances.
