German goalkeeper Neuer wins Golden Glove

Manuel Neuer has won the World Cup Golden Glove award for the tournament's best goalkeeper after Germany's victory over Argentina in Sunday's final.

The 28-year-old German goalkeeper won the gloves after helping his side to a 1-0 victory over Argentina.

Neuer conceded just four goals in seven games and kept a clean sheets. He impressed FIFA’s Technical Study Group with his shot-stopping ability, his commanding presence and his ability to start attacks from his own penalty area.

He has been dubbed a ‘sweeper-keeper’ by sections of the media for his performances at this World Cup, featuring plenty of evidence of his desire to come off his line and play accurate passes when under pressure.
