A third club forces to dummy to ruff, and now you have a trump trick. One off.

If you originally selected a heart, diamond or trump for your opening lead then you would have found a successful defence - it's only a high club lead and failure to continue with a third round that lets 4spade through. So, if you failed to beat 4spade, let's hope that your day improves!
