WHO starred - who didn't
JUSSI JAASKELAINEN 8
Two impressive first half saves and some solid, confident handling.
NICKY HUNT 7
The local lad kept his cool and kept close tabs on Rovers' Pedersen.
TAL BEN HAIM 8
Had a row with Campo first half but he kept his nerve and performed well.
BRUNO N'GOTTY 8
One or two untidy moments in the first quarter but proved a major force.
RICARDO GARDNER 6
Clumsy at times and careless in his delivery but showed great determination.
JAY JAY OKOCHA 5
One of his least effective performances. He looked out of sorts and off his game.
IVAN CAMPO 6
Wasted too much possession first half but improved with a more solid second.
GARY SPEED 7
Embarrassed to receive the Man of the Match award: "I don't deserve it," he said.
STELIOS 5
Tried hard but just couldn't make an impression on the game.
EL-HADJI DIOUF 6
Busy without being as effective as he has been - until he won the controversial penalty.
KEVIN NOLAN 7
Good energy, full commitment up front then in midfield all good traits in a derby.
Subs: Kevin Davies (7) for Okocha 53 mins, Henrik Pedersen (5) for Stelios 67 mins, Khalilou Fadgia for Diouf 78 mins. Not used: Fernando Hierro, Kevin Poole.
