Here’s how The Lancashire Telegraph rated the players’ efforts, with six signifying average.

Aynsley Pears – 6

A few of bad kicks in the second half, but overall, decent. I didn’t have any substantial savings to make.

Callum Brittain – 7.

He provided his typical vigor down the right. I would have loved to see a couple crosses into the box for Gueye earlier, but overall a decent performance.

Dion Sanderson – 7

There were no complications during his maiden league debut for Rovers. He won his duels and kept possession moving.

Dom Hyam – 7.

Once again, the back is solid. Still hasn’t missed a single league minute for Rovers this season.

Yuri Ribeiro – 8.

Another impressive effort from the left-back, who appears to be quite consistent at this level. He did himself no harm in his early outings.

Lewis Travis – 8

Won a lot of fouls and blasted the ball about beautifully. Composed a performance to bring the clock down.

Adam Forshaw – 7.

His finest effort in a Rovers jersey. He controlled effectively from deep and eventually scored his goal, which he delighted celebrating.

Amario Cozier-Duberry – 7

An unusual performance. There were some very brilliant moments in the first half and at the opening of the second. In the middle, he passed a bit loosely and carelessly.

Todd Cantwell – 6

There were some beautiful passes from deep, but it all went apart in the last third. Either making the wrong decision or not catching the ball properly. Needs a goal to boost his confidence.

Tyrhys Dolan – 8

Rovers’ greatest performance before he scored. Particularly lively in the second half, and then sealed the win with a tidy finish.

Makhtar Gueye – 7

Not as spectacular as midweek, but his link play was excellent. It was unfortunate that Hazard clawed out a header.

Substitutes:

Augustus Kargbo (Cozier-Duberry, 63’) – 7

After coming on, he appeared to be more energetic. Set up the winning goal for Dolan.

John Buckley (Forshaw, 84′): N/A

On for the final ten minutes to complete the game.

Andi Weimann (Cantwell, 84′): N/A

Helped finish the game in the final moments.

Ryan Hedges (Dolan, 90′): N/A

Late change. He almost got himself a goal.

Unused substitutes: Toth, Carter, Rankin-Costello, Dennis, and Woodrow.

Referee: Samuel Allison.

Attendance: 14,875.
