A LOOK at the key stats and figures from the Worthington Cup victory over Spurs.
ROVERS:
BRAD FRIEDEL: Arise Sir Bradley of Blackburn! Deserves to be knighted after pulling off a string of top saves...10
MARTIN TAYLOR: Had his hands full against Ziege but rose to the challenge, growing in confidence as the game wore on...7
HENNING BERG: Beaten by Ferdinand for the goal but brilliantly held his defence together in the face of some strong late pressure...7
NILS-ERIC JOHANSSON: Refused to be ruffed up by Ferdinand as the former England man tried to throw his weight about up front...8
STIG-INGE BJORNEBYE: A sterling display from the no-nonsense Norwegian, especially since he's been fighting a bug this week...7
DAVID DUNN: Revelled on the big stage against the likes of Anderton and Poyet. Come on Sven, give him his England chance...9
MARK HUGHES: There's still some fire left in this Welsh dragon yet! Broke things up in midfield by making a nuisance of himself...8
KEITH GILLESPIE: Great to see him flying again down the right. Played a part in Jansen's goal with a miscued shot...7
ANDY COLE: Remind me again who said he needed five chances to score? Mr Hoddle start eating your words...8
MATT JANSEN: Thoroughly deserved his goal after giving every last drop of sweat for the Rovers cause...8
DAMIAN DUFF: Always looking threatening whenever in possession even when Tottenham tried to double-up on him in the final third...8
