Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aynsley Pears - 7
Pulled off a great reaction save to stop Mullin from making it 2-0 after palming away Cannon's initial shot. Nothing he could do about the Wrexham goal which was hit at pace.
Joe Rankin-Costello - 7
Slotted in well as the third centre-back and made a really quick bright to the game. Intriguing to see if this is a tactic Tomasson persists with.
Dom Hyam - 8
Rock-solid from the captain, who read the danger excellently. Arguably his best performance since returning from injury.
Scott Wharton - 7
Had to manage a lot of space down that left channel but did so well. The goal came from his side but that was down to a quick transition rather than anything to do with his positioning.
Tyrhys Dolan - 7
Back for his first start in two months and in the unfamiliar role of wing-back. Added energy and pace to Rovers' attack and looked sharp.
Sondre Tronstad - 8
Much better from the midfielder. Calm on the ball, a lovely assist for Szmodics and then his first for the club was a belter.
Jake Garrett - 6
Nice pass into the feet of Gallagher which set up the equaliser. Lost the ball in the build-up to Wrexham's opener but plenty to do before it hit the net.
Arnor Sigurdsson - 6
In at left-wing-back which is not the most natural for him. A quieter evening but not a bad game by any measure.
Andrew Moran - 6
Popped up on the right in both central and wide areas, playing off Gallagher. A few nice touches and bits of link-up play.
Sam Szmodics - 9
He's so, so deadly in front of goal. Took the second particularly well, plucking it from the sky and finishing. 21 for the season now.
Sam Gallagher - 8
Worked tirelessly up front and showcased why Rovers are a much better side with him in it. Set up the equaliser, scored the second and played a big role in the fourth.
Substitutes:
Ben Chrisene (Dolan, 64')
On at left-wing-back. Will be important for Rovers with Pickering and Brittain out.
Yasin Ayari (Garrett, 64') - 7
Some nice touches including a lovely raking pass out wide.
Semir Telalovic (Gallagher, 64') - 6
Ran the channels and had a few sniffs at goal. Would love to see him get that first goal.
Tom Atcheson (Rankin-Costello, 83') - N/A
On for his second Rovers appearance in the final 10.
Dilan Markanday (Sigurdsson, 89') - N/A
On for Sigurdsson in the final minutes.
Unused substitutes: Wahlstedt, Gamble, Wharton, Ennis.
Referee: Andrew Madley
Attendance: 18, 169
