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

Balazs Toth - 7

Didn't have much to do other than one save from Ngakia in the first half.

Callum Brittain - 8

Put in some lovely crosses from the right again. Rovers looked most dangerous from that side.

Dom Hyam - 8

Rock-solid again and used the ball well too. Didn't give much change to Doumbia.

Danny Batth - 8

Had one goal ruled out and another header off the bar. Excellent in both boxes as usual.

Yuri Ribeiro - 7

A few misplaced passes but solid defensively as he always tend to be.

Lewis Travis - 7

Typical snarling performance in the middle. Not his greatest game with the ball but did plenty off it.

Sondre Tronstad - 8

Scooped the Player of the Season award before kick-off and deservedly so. Nearly added to his goal tally with a shot just wide of the post.

Tyrhys Dolan - 9

Rovers' best player even before the goal. Buzzed around, took on his opponents and delivered with his end product. Having a real purple patch.

Todd Cantwell - 9

Scored one and assisted one. The perfect time to score his first goal from open play. Has come back to the party in recent weeks.

Ryan Hedges - 7

Worked hard but it wasn't quite coming off for him in the final third.

Yuki Ohashi - 7

Similar to Hedges, though he set up the equaliser. Plenty of endeavour but no clear sight at goal.

Substitutes:

Dion Sanderson (Hedges, 77') - 6

On to protect the lead as they shifted to a back five.

Adam Forshaw (Cantwell, 77') - 6

Likewise, a move to try and get the midfield locked down.

Augustus Kargbo (Dolan, 86') - N/A

Made his return from injury in the final minutes. Great to see him back.

Emmanuel Dennis (Ohashi, 86') - N/A

Joined Kargbo in returning to action in the final home game.

Unused substitutes: Pears, Montgomery, Pickering, Woodrow, Tyjon

Referee: Elliot Bell

Attendance: 15,154
