Stoke striker Crouch eyeing 100-goal landmark

Stoke City striker Peter Crouch is closing on a goalscoring landmark.

Crouch will be seeking his 100th league goal against Manchester City on Wednesday after helping Stoke make history with his winner in the 2-1 victory at Wolves.

Crouch said: "They way of football now is when we lost four matches in a row not so long ago, people were saying 'It's a crisis and that we are going down.'

"But then we win four games on the bounce and great things are being said about you by everyone.

"It's a great run and four straight wins in the Premier League is difficult for any team to achieve.

"We've got to continue that. We've got an easy fixture on Wednesday against Man City and we are all looking forward to that.

"Someone mentioned I'm now one short of 100 league goals and hopefully I can get that (milestone) out of the way as quickly as possible."
