Here, Salop reporter Ollie Westbury rates the Town players on a memorable day in Shropshire. 

Toby Savin 

The Town keeper has had a tough job of late, but he made one brilliant stop late in the second half to keep Shrewsbury's lead intact. 

Vital: 8

Luca Hoole

Had Keshi Anderson for company in the first half, and he kept him very quiet. So much so that he was subbed off - it was a super display from Hoole. 

Good: 8

Aaron Pierre 

Not known for his goals, but he scored a beauty to give Town the lead just past the half-hour mark. His defending was terrific too, with a number of important headers. 

Superb: 8

Toto Nsiala

Had not played since Paul Hurst's last game in charge before this one, but like his partner Pierre, he made a number of really important interceptions. Went off injured in the closing moments.
