Thibaut Courtois has won the Golden Glove award for being the best goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup.
The 26-year-old helped Belgium to a third-place finish.
Courtois was named the best keeper of the tournament
He played in every one of the Red Devils' seven matches and conceded six goals, keeping three clean sheets along the way.
Chelsea's Courtois becomes the latest in a long line of elite goalkeepers to be named the best glovesman at the World Cup.
Manuel Neuer won the award at the 2014 edition after Germany's success in the final, continuing a run of three successive Golden Glove awards going to the keeper of the winning team.
Oliver Kahn was the last player to be named Golden Glove winner despite not winning the World Cup, with Kahn's Germany beaten by Brazil in the 2002 final; Kahn also won the Golden Ball award that year, becoming the only keeper in the history of the tournament to do so.
Kahn won both the Golden Glove and Golden Ball award in 2002
Courtois joins Luka Modric, who won the Golden Ball, and Harry Kane, who finished top scorer, as the three main award winners for the 2018 World Cup.
