Here's how The Lancashire Telegraph scored the players' performances, with a six representing par for the course.
BALAZS TOTH - 7
Made a superb save at the end to deny Cisse and ensure Rovers got something from the game. Otherwise, relatively untroubled.
RYAN ALEBIOSU - 7
Carried a good threat down the right side, particularly in the first half.
TOM ATCHESON - 7
Solid again on the right of defence. Was tested aerially and on the deck but stood up to the challenge.
SEAN MCLOUGHLIN - 7
Strong in the middle of the backline. Has been a good run of displays during this positive run of form.
EIRAN CASHIN - 8
Superb goal-line block to keep out Gallagher. Really excellent on the left. I'd make the phone call now to see if they can keep him for next season.
YURI RIBEIRO - 6
Solid down the left but did allow Rak-Sakyi the wrong side of him to equalise.
ADAM FORSHAW - 8
Really good goal, struck brilliantly. Best player on the pitch for 30 minutes when Rovers were at their best.
MOUSSA BARADJI - 6
Another solid display in midfield. Began to tire in the second half so it wasn't a surprise when his number went up.
RYOYA MORISHITA - 6
Didn't have his best game. Missed a good chance early on when he should've at least hit the target. Wasn't quite on the same wavelength as some team-mates.
TODD CANTWELL - 6
Some nice touches and good work off the ball but nothing too influential with the ball at his feet.
YUKI OHASHI - 6
A little surprised he completed 90 minutes. Good start but faded and was booked after a terrible dive.
SUBSTITUTES:
TAYLOR GARDNER-HICKMAN (BARADJI, 63') - 6
Added some more legs in midfield in a period where Stoke were on top.
KRISTI MONTGOMERY (FORSHAW, 77') - 6
Kept things ticking over after arriving in midfield.
MATHIAS JORGENSEN (CANTWELL, 77') - 6
Ran the channels and provided a bit more of a threat in-behind.
NATHAN REDMOND (MORISHITA, 90') - N/A
On for his Rovers debut in stoppage time.
DION DE NEVE (RIBEIRO, 90') - N/A
A slightly more attacking option in light of Stoke going down to ten men.
UNUSED SUBSTITUTES: Michalski, O'Riordan, Pickering, Afolayan.
