A look at the key moments from the match against Spurs

PETER ENCKELMAN: Looked a little nervous early on but he showed a few glimpses of what he can do, including a breathtaking second half save to deny Defoe.... 7

LUCAS NEILL: Did okay defensively but his distribution let him down at times and he was eventually replaced by Steven Reid.... 6

MICHAEL GRAY: Another consistent performance but he didn't get forward as much as he usually does.... 7

NISSA JOHANSSON: Got caught out for the goal when Defoe managed to get the wrong side of him.... 6

CRAIG SHORT: Had his hands full against Spurs' lively front pairing of Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe.... 6

GARRY FLITCROFT: Not really a day for bone-crunching challenges but he still put himself about with usual vigour.... 7

MARTIN ANDRESEN: Neat and tidy in possession but all the action seemed to be happening around him.... 6

JONATHON DOUGLAS: Had a great chance to score with a second half header but he put it over the bar.... 6

TUGAY: Looked the man most likely to make things happen in midfield but couldn't quite find the killer pass.... 7

ANDY COLE: Should have had a penalty in the second half when he had his shirt pulled in the area.... 6

JONATHAN STEAD: So he is human after all. Had Rovers' best chance of the game but he put it wide. Still a handful for the Spurs defence, though.... 7
