Emiliano Martinez has been awarded the Golden Glove after helping Argentina win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Martinez saved a spot-kick from Kingsley Coman as Argentina beat France 4-2 in a penalty shootout after an epic 3-3 draw in Sunday's final.
The Aston Villa keeper had earlier saved two penalties in a shootout win over Holland in the quarter-finals.

Unlike in some other competitions where the Golden Glove is awarded based solely on the number of clean sheets, the World Cup Golden Glove is decided by a vote among experts.
Those experts, appointed by FIFA, decided that Martinez deserved the award more than Morocco keeper Bono.
Croatia stopper Dominik Livakovic and France captain Hugo Lloris had also been in contention for the prize.
