A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Sunderland in the FA Cup.

ROVERS:

FRIEDEL: A brave effort from the big American who was clearly hampered by a foot injury which affected his kicking...6

NEILL: Did a decent job on Arca but his defensive responsibilities meant he couldn't get forward as much as he would have liked...7

McEVELEY: Showed a few signs of tiredness which is quite understandable given his recent run of games...6

TAYLOR: Had his hands full against the lively Phillips who was a real thorn in Rovers' side all night...7

BERG: Showed admirable spirit to come through 120 minutes on his return to first team duty after a three-month absence...7

*FLITCROFT: Didn't deserve to be on the losing side. A captain's performance from the skipper who weighed in with two vital goals...8

TUGAY: Not a night for his slick passing game but at least he put himself about with more conviction than at West Ham and Villa...7

THOMPSON: Looked better when he moved into a more central position and proved his worth by supplying the crosses for Flitcroft's goals...7

JOHANSSON: Pressed into service as an emergency midfielder. Anonymous in the first half but improved as the game wore on...6

COLE: Spent most of the night having to fight for scraps up front due to a lack of service and his penalty miss summed up his frustrations...6

YORKE: Had one of those frustrating evenings where little went right for him before he was finally replaced...5
