Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aynsley Pears - 10
An unbelievable save to keep Rovers ahead, tipping Winks' shot onto the bar when it was goalbound. His most important contribution in a Rovers shirt.
Callum Brittain - 9
Handled the very dangerous Mavididi exceptionally well. Kept him quiet until he was taken off.
Hayden Carter - 8
One lapse of concentration in the first half which Vardy should've scored. Otherwise, faultless.
Kyle McFadzean - 9
A man mountain in the middle of the defence. Never got beaten and headed away everything that came his way.
Harry Pickering - 9
Really accomplished performance, switching from wing-back to left-sided centre-back. Good defensive positioning.
Ben Chrisene - 8
Provided energy up and down the left touchline.
Sondre Tronstad - 8
Battled hard in the middle which isn't easy when you're starved of the ball.
Joe Rankin-Costello - 8
Worked his socks off and was key to winning the ball back in the early stages.
Sam Szmodics - 10
Didn't see much of the ball. Who cares? When Rovers needed him, he stepped up. A brilliant run and sublime finish.
Tyrhys Dolan - 8
Worked hard up front and pressed at the right moments.
Sam Gallagher - 8
Ran the channels and proved a nuisance. Should've done better with a good chance in the first half.
