THE key stats and moments from the game against Spurs.

ROVERS:

FRIEDEL: Made a couple of key saves but he was a virtual spectator for large chunks of the game...8

NEILL: Got booked early on but kept his composure brilliantly with a disciplined defensive display thereafter...7

McEVELEY: Another valuable education for the promising young defender who coped comfortably with any threat down the left...7

TODD: Solid and reliable defensively and always looked to bring the ball out from the back when he could...7

TAYLOR: Survived a couple of shaky moments early on but generally coped well against the threat of Robbie Keane...7

FLITCROFT: A captain's performance in the centre of the park before his afternoon was crudely cut short by injury...8

HIGNETT: What a way to mark your first Premiership start of the season. A quality strike at a crucial time...8

TUGAY: Ran the show in midfield where he easily outshone Jamie Redknapp...8

COLE: Scored himself and linked up well with Yorke, especially for the opening goal...8

YORKE: Could have had a hat-trick on the day. Caused the Spurs defence all sorts of problems...8

DUFF: A box of tricks on the left. Scored one and had a hand in two others as the Spurs defence completely capitulated...9
