After the game, the Belgian promised fans that he will reach 100 soon in a video posted on the Blues’ official Twitter account:

With the talent that the 27-year-old possesses, it would be hard to bet against him scoring against Leicester City on Saturday. Since being moved to the ‘False Nine’ role by manager Maurizio Sarri, the Belgian international’s form has certainly picked up
Hazard now has two goals and five assists in his last five games, helping his team to wins against Manchester City and Brighton, as well as scoring last night to help the Blues through to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
His 99 goals in 320 appearances over the past six and a half years is certainly not a bad return for a player who plays out wide.
