Courtois wins World Cup Golden Glove award
Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has won the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup.
Courtois was influential in his side's run to the semi-finals as his country achieved their best finish in the tournament, coming third.
The Chelsea man kept clean sheets against Panama and England twice, while also impressing in a win over Brazil, to edge out finalists Hugo Lloris and Danijel Subasic.
After it was confirmed he had won the award following the final, Courtois posted on Twitter: "One of the biggest individual honors you can get as a goalkeeper! So proud of this!"
Germany's Manuel Neuer won in 2014. Other past winners include Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Oliver Kahn, Fabien Barthez and Michel Preud'homme.
