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

Aynsley Pears - 8

Didn't have any major saves of note to make despite the Middlesbrough pressure. Commanded his box well.

Callum Brittain - 8

Didn't give anything away down the right side against Hamilton and Borges. Carried an attacking threat first half.

Danny Batth - 8

Restricted Latte Lath and Conway to very little. Rovers defended their box manfully throughout.

Dom Hyam - 8

Scored his first goal of the season by prodding in at the back post. Didn't put a foot wrong at the back.

Harry Pickering - 8

Handled Doak really well with Hedges helping him by working hard defensively. Has done well since coming back into the team.

Lewis Travis - 8

Really good in the first half at winning the ball back in the Boro half at the right time.

Sondre Tronstad - 8

Mopped up alongside Travis really well. Restricted the space in the centre and forced Boro out wide.

Tyrhys Dolan - 6

Missed a really good chance at the back post. Carried a threat off the right in the first half but was quiet in the second.

Todd Cantwell - 7

Thought he'd scored his first Rovers goal but was flagged offside. Good in the first half but saw less of it after the break.

Ryan Hedges - 7

Worked hard defensively to double up on the very dangerous Doak. Had one sight of goal which Brynn saved and another he didn't make good contact with.

Yuki Ohashi - 7

Worked hard up front but didn't get loads of service.

Substitutes:

Owen Beck (Hedges, 67') - 7

Filled in on the left of midfield to keep things tight. Delightful flick to Cantwell for the winning goal.

Lewis Baker (Cantwell, 81') - N/A

Late change to soak up the pressure in midfield.

Makhtar Gueye (Ohashi, 86') - N/A

On after Ohashi picked up a small knock.

Unused substitutes: Toth, McFadzean, Rankin-Costello, Buckley, Cozier-Duberry, Leonard.
