A LOOK at the key moments and performances from the game against Chelsea.

FRIEDEL: Well protected by the men in front of him but did what he had to when Hasselbaink and Co did get a clear sight of goal...7

NEILL: Made a couple of foraging runs down the right and nearly scored with a rasping first half drive which Cudicini clawed away...7

BJORNEBYE: Solid and dependable at the back and a crucial first half clearance saved Rovers bacon as Stanic looked ready to pounce...7

BERG: Did a brilliant job on Gudjohnsen as Rovers kept their second clean sheet against the Blues this season...8

SHORT: An absolute colossus at the back brilliantly snuffing out the threat of the Premiership's leading scorer...9

DUNN: A mature performance from the England Under 21 skipper. Got forward at every opportunity but didn't shirk his defensive duties...8

TUGAY: Never quite hit top note but still played his part with an industrious midfield performance...7

GILLESPIE: Always a threat down the right as Rovers attacked with menace although his final ball sometimes let him down...7

COLE: Desperate to score on his return from suspension but he fired over from his one clear chance of the night...7

JANSEN: Worked his socks off once again up front and gave the Chelsea defence all sorts of problems with his movement...7

DUFF: Full of running again on the left despite being up against the impressive Melchiot but couldn't quite engineer a winner for either Cole or Jansen...7
