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

Aynsley Pears - 9

Handled everything thrown his way really well. Made the big saves when they were needed and certainly played his role in running the clock down.

Callum Brittain - 8

Stood up to the threat of Summerville down that side. Got into some decent positions and helped Rovers get out from the back.

Hayden Carter - 8

Reacted well to an early booking on his first start since January. Defended the box so well.

Dom Hyam - 9

Big reaction to Wednesday night's disappointment. Back to his best both in the middle and on the left side.

Scott Wharton - 7

Fair play to him for soldiering on for the first 45 minutes after a back injury 60 hours ago. Only lasted the first half but did his job.

Harry Pickering - 8

Stood up to the challenge faced by Willy Gnonto with a solid performance.

Sondre Tronstad - 8

Battled hard in midfield and was one of the calmer players on the ball.

Joe Rankin-Costello - 8

Ran his heart out in the middle. Challenges and blocks all over the place. A big effort after Wednesday night.

Sam Szmodics - 9

How cool can you be? The silence in Elland Road was deafening when he hit the back of the net. 30 for the season.

Tyrhys Dolan - 8

Brilliant composure to pick out Szmodics for the winner. He produced the goods when needed.

Sam Gallagher - 8

Battled really hard up front and proved to be a useful out ball. He can be a real nuisance for defenders.

Substitutes:

Kyle McFadzean (Wharton, 45') - 8

A much better display, tasked to defend deep and protect the 18-yard box. 

Ben Chrisene (Dolan, 83') - N/A

A late change to shore things up after Rovers went ahead.

Semir Telalovic (Szmodics, 90')

Subbed on in the final few minutes.

Unused substitutes: Wahlstedt, Koumetio, Garrett, Buckley, Markanday, Gilsenan.
