FLOWERS: Concern that he was beaten for the third time in recent weeks from a free kick but made a couple of outstanding saves 7

DAILLY: Did not appear very confident in the first half but, once he had made the assist for the second goal his game went up a gear 6

HENCHOZ: Class act who looked thoroughly at home on this stage and one late tackle to save a goal chance was memorable 8

PEACOCK: Had a tough task against the mobile French attackers but they didn't get a goal from free play 7

KENNA: It looked a needless challenge for the penalty and, in the end, that is what proved so expensive to the team 6

PEREZ: A great goal for a player who defied a knee injury to hand Rovers an early lifeline 7

FLITCROFT: Super non-stop performance capped by a coolly-taken goal which set up that pulsating finale 9

McKINLAY: Helped his two more forward midfield partners to wrest control shutting down Dhorasso's time and space 8

*SHERWOOD: The skipper led by example and was outstanding. He went so close on more than one occasion to grabbing what would have been a deserved winner 9

DUFF: Great cross for the first goal and, although not yet at peak fitness, never stopped working and is gradually getting back more sharpness 7

WILCOX: Given the thankless task of playing on his own up front, he never shirked a run or a challenge. Very unlucky to be sent off 7

SUBS

JOHNSON: Took his big chance in style and, on this showing, could get a Premiership opportunity 7

DAVIDSON: Played his part as Rovers threw everything they had at the French side in the last 20 minutes

TAYLOR: Last season's youth team centre half was thrown on as a last-ditch gamble in attack and his presence helped cause problems for Lyon
