Wilson was left angry by Sunday's collapse

Newcastle Vipers head coach Rob Wilson was left fuming with his players following Sunday's 3-1 home defeat to Belfast Giants at the Arena.

Despite beating the Irish side 4-3 in the first half of their weekend double header, Vipers offered a meek response in the second game and Wilson let rip.

"I put this team together to win hockey games, and there was no passion, drive and grit there tonight," he said.

"We were like a completely different team from last night."
