America’s Cup: New Zealand take 4-0 lead over Great Britain in Barcelona

New Zealand took a 4-0 lead over Great Britain in the America’s Cup to edge towards retaining their title.

Ben Ainslie’s Ineos Britannia team fell 3-0 behind on Sunday, and the fourth race was abandoned because there was not enough wind in Barcelona.

The race was pushed back to Monday – originally designated a reserve day – and, after a tight start, Emirates Team New Zealand won by more than 300m.

Britain, who were aggrieved that an umpire’s decision went against them on Sunday in the pre-start, protested against New Zealand during a series of close crosses.

New Zealand need only three more wins to take the best-of-13 series for a third consecutive year.

Britain have never won the America’s Cup in its 173-year history.

“We will push all the way. We can come back from this,” said GB skipper Ainslie.

The fifth and sixth races take place on Wednesday.
