Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
Aynsley Pears - 9
Made two really important save at 2-0 to keep the lead in tact. First from Willock's curling shot and then a header from Colwill. Then saved the penalty but it dropped back to Turnbull which was very unlucky.
Callum Brittain - 7
Kept Willock and El Ghazi pretty quiet on that side. He's had a good week of performances.
Dom Hyam - 8
Interestingly switched to the right side of the pair. Won lots of headers as Rovers defended their box for their lives in the final 15 minutes.
Danny Batth - 7
A few loose passes but defensively excellent. Used his experience as Rovers were under pressure at the end.
Harry Pickering - 7
Rock solid at left-back, sometimes switching to a third centre-back at times. Has enjoyed a good couple of games back in the team.
Lewis Travis - 9
A brilliant performance from the captain. Had a hand in both goals, particularly the second which he created with a brilliant defence-splitting pass.
Sondre Tronstad - 8
Mopped up well alongside Travis in midfield.
Ryan Hedges - 6
Worked nicely with Pickering down the left again.
Todd Cantwell - 7
Played a key part in the first goal with a nice weighted pass to Travis. Was quite heavily involved first half, less so after the break as he tired.
Andi Weimann - 8
In the right place to finish off two beautifully-crafted goals. Two easy finishes but it's proved the most difficult task in recent matches!
Yuki Ohashi - 7
Ran himself into the ground. Held the ball up really well in the first half with some clever touches.
Substitutes:
Rankin-Costello (Weimann, 60') - 5
Gave away the penalty and took a while to get up to the pace of the match.
Lewis Baker (Hedges, 76') - 7
Took his goal really well to secure the three points. His first for the club.
John Buckley (Cantwell, 76') - 6
Came on to stiffen up the midfield with an extra body.
Makhtar Gueye (Ohashi, 76') - 6
On to lead the line after Ohashi had ran himself into the ground.
Unused substitutes: Toth, McFadzean, Duru, Leonard, Tyjon.
Referee: Gavin Ward
