Footballer denies seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault against six young women

Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy arrives at Chester crown court.Jurors in the rape trial of Manchester City footballer Benjamin Mendy have been told to question the credibility of their accusers.

Jurors at Chester crown court were directed to find both men not guilty of those charges against her. Wilding cited the account of another woman, aged 23, who claimed Matturie raped her at 5.30am in Mendy’s Mercedes car while on a trip to a local garage to buy more alcohol for a party at the footballer’s house.

Voice messages sent to her friends later that same day, where she called the party, the “best night of my life” were, “not a reflection of someone who has been raped,” Wilding added.
