Mark Hughes hopes Peter Crouch hits 100 Premier League goal mark

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes said he's pulling for striker Peter Crouch to hit 100 Premier League goals after the former England international scored hi 98th in a 2-0 win against Watford on Tuesday.

Crouch, 35, is now sitting on 98 career goals in England's top flight after his second-half strike put Stoke up 2-0 following a first-half injury-time opener from captain Ryan Shawcross.

Neither effort was particularly eye-catching, but were good enough to earn the Potters a win. Shawcross' first in two years and two days found a way past Heurelho Gomes at the near post.
