GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Liverpool (Morgan Schneiderlin)
Oh that is far too easy for Southampton. Ramirez clips a cross in to Rodriguez, who has peeled off his man at the back post which allows him to cushion a header back into the dangerzone. Morgan Schneiderlin is racing in and picks up the header, poking it past Jones with the outside of his foot. What a start for the hosts! Is "peel off" an idiom? What does it mean ?

He has created some space between himself and the defender.
