Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has won the World Cup Golden Gloves.

Courtois was awarded the World Cup's Golden Glove after some fine performances in helping Belgium to third place.

He succeeds Manuel Neuer who was given the gong four years ago when Germany won the tournament.

He is the second Belgian to be named best goalkeeper after Michel Preud'homme in 1994.

"It is not necessary to make ten stops to make the difference," Courtois said.
