Great Britain beat Italy 4-1 in front of a crowd of over 6,700 at the Motorpoint Arena in game two of the four-game series.

The attendance of 6,710 was a new record for a GB game played on home ice as Pete Russell’s side roared back following Italy’s 6-4 win in Milton Keynes on Thursday.

GB scored twice in the first period and added two late goals to secure the victory on a fantastic night in Nottingham.

Netminder Mat Robson made his GB debut, making 33 saves, while Lucas Brine was back-up.

Ben Davies used his strength behind the net to set-up Jack Hopkins to score from the top of the crease (06:05).

Robson made two big close-range saves to deny Luca Frigo and Tommy Purdeller before GB made it 2-0 just before the midway point of the first period

Brad Jenion and Cole Shudra combined to set-up David Clements who scored with a neat wrist-shot from just inside the blueline (09:02).

Brett Perlini hit the right-hand post early in the second session while Johnny Curran was denied from close-range

Robson stopped Phil Pietroniro’s shot from the right-circle but was beaten by Purdeller’s close-range finish (38:41) as the period came to a close.

Ben Davies fed Cole Shudra who was stopped by a fine pad save by Jacob Smith, before Ollie Betteridge’s neat backhand finish through the five-hole (57:25).

Johnny Curran secured the victory and crowned a memorable night with an empty-net goal (58:55).
