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

Aynsley Pears - 3

A really tough afternoon for Pears after his heroics at Elland Road. He won't be happy with his role in the opener and the third is just a horrible individual error.

Callum Brittain - 6

Probably the best of an otherwise shaky-looking defence. Some nice touches on the ball.

Hayden Carter - 5

Was caught out a few times trying to see the ball out and didn't.

Dom Hyam - 4

Should have been sharper for the first goal but took too long to clear it. Nowhere near as assured as last weekend.

Scott Wharton - 6

Most of the bigger issues came down the opposite side, in truth. He was forced off with a worrying-looking injury in the second half.

Harry Pickering - 5

Another guilty of giving away possession too cheaply. Want to see more in the final third when he plays as a wing-back.

Sondre Tronstad - 4

Uncharacteristically sloppy in midfield. Gave the ball away far too cheaply, though he wasn't the only one.

Joe Rankin-Costello - 6

Battled hard in the midfield but Rovers struggled to sustain any real momentum on the ball.

Sam Szmodics - 7

Took his goal really well, with the conviction of a man full of confidence. Quiet otherwise.

Tyrhys Dolan - 5

Flashes of nice footwork and a bit of spark but they were too fleeting to make a real impact.

Sam Gallagher - 6

Worked hard up front but the service into him was lacking.

Substitutes:

John Buckley (Tronstad, 67') - 5

Came on to try and add more control in midfield but it didn't really materialise.

Dilan Markanday (Wharton, 74') - 6

Had a few runs at his man after being introduced in an attacking change.

Ben Chrisene (Pickering, 85') - N/A

Part of a late triple change.

Andrew Moran (Dolan, 85') - N/A

Back from injury for a few minutes.

Yasin Ayari (Rankin-Costello, 85') - N/A

Didn't have much time to make a difference.

Unused substitutes: Wahlstedt, McFadzean, Koumetio, Telalovic.
