Here's how we rated the players'¦

IAN LAWLOR 8

Could not be blamed for either goal and made some impressive saves at key times in the game.

SHAUN CUMMINGS 8

His best performance yet in red and white. Made several timely blocks and interventions and also looked more confident going forward.

TOM ANDERSON 7

Another wholehearted and impressive performance at centre back. He did the simple things well and never shirked a challenge.

ANDY BUTLER 7

Defended in typically determined fashion and also won the penalty '“ albeit in slightly fortunate fashion.

DANNY ANDREW 7

Whipped a few superb balls into the box. Defended diligently.

ALI CRAWFORD 6

Another busy performance in midfield but could not find a killer pass.

BEN WHITEMAN 8

Full of confidence. Stroked the ball round effortlessly at times, the pick of Rovers' midfield men. Passed forwards with real purpose.

HERBIE KANE 6

Unusually ineffective. Lacked no effort but failed to make an impact on the game.

MALLIK WILKS 6

His physicality caused the visitors' problems but he flattered to deceive slightly with the ball at his feet.

JOHN MARQUIS 6

A frustrating afternoon for Rovers' top scorer. Starved of chances and his first touch often let him down. Made a vital goal-line clearance.

JAMES COPPINGER 6

His 600th Rovers appearance did not go to plan as his slip led to Oxford's first equaliser. Kept relatively quiet by the visitors.
