Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.

Leopold Walhstedt - 6

Pulled off a fantastic save at a crucial moment in the match to deny Bayo. Should've done better with his punch for Watford's winning goal.

Hayden Carter - 7

Asked to play at right-back and stuck to his task. Nice assist for Wharton with a reverse pass.

Dom Hyam - 8

It was like he'd never been away. Won every header and his distribution was excellent. Great to have him back.

Scott Wharton - 9

Continued his fantastic vein of form. Distribution has been noticeably improved after a consistent run in the team. Won every header.

Lewis Travis - 7

Asked to play completely out of position at left-back and he was superb. Didn't give Martins a kick though Asprilla proved to be a trickier customer. Played with real intensity and aggression.

Sondre Tronstad - 8

Wins so many loose balls in midfield. Another dominant performance in front of the back four.

Adam Wharton - 10

His best performance of the season. Ran the game, scored the opener and could've had another. Silky touches, hard work defensively; everything you'd want from your midfielder. A class above.

Jake Garrett - 7

Deserved to start and added energy in midfield. Should've scored a decisive second early in the second half but got the finish wrong.

Andrew Moran - 7

A better performance after looking tired in the last couple. Drifted all over the pitch to get involved.

Arnor Sigurdsson - 7

Could've celebrated his permanent move with a goal but Hamer denied him. Quieter in the second half.

Niall Ennis - 6

Worked really hard up front for an hour. Held the ball well, ran the channels. Still lacking some match sharpness but that will come with time.

Substitutes:

Harry Leonard (Ennis, 61') - 6

Played a lovely ball through to Wharton which could've yielded the second goal.

James Hill (Hyam, 67') - 6

Solid at centre-back after replacing Hyam.

Dilan Markanday (Moran, 90') - N/A

Unused substitutes: Hilton, Gamble, Duru, Weston, Blocham, Telalovic.
