Eden Hazard crossed the 100-goal mark with Chelsea after scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Watford on Wednesday to keep her team in fourth place in the Premier League.

After a home defeat at Leicester City on Saturday, Chelsea rallied and earned a deserved victory at Viking Ridge Stadium.

Chelsea, who has 40 points, remains 11 points behind leaders Liverpool.

In the match, Watford defender Christian Kabbadili is seriously injured in the ribs, hitting the goalkeeper while trying to avoid the ball.

Kabasili tried to finish the match but went out on a stretcher and received oxygen medications.

After breaking the 100-goal mark, Hazard said his ambition was to become one of Chelsea's legends.

"I will never forget to reach 100 and 101 goals with this incredible club," he told Sky Sports.

"I want to score more goals for this team and become a legend like Frank Lampard, John Terry and Didier Drogba."

However, the Belgian did not perform well because he failed to score close in the 32nd minute, not having arrived in time for the center of Cesar Azbeliquita.

But Hazard opened the scoring in stoppage time in the first half when goalkeeper Ben Foster dribbled before putting the ball in the net after a pbad from midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

Watford scored a draw just minutes before the end of the first half of a well-executed corner kick to reach Argentine midfielder Roberto Pereira, who shot a superb shot from the edge of the box and scored the goal with his sixth goal in the league this season.

Hazard scored the winner with a penalty early in the second half after Foster blocked him in the box.

"I think we played well, with determination and focus for 90 minutes," said Chelsea manager Maurizio Sari.

Watford coach Gaby Garcia lamented the loss of a third consecutive victory.

"We knew things would be difficult, but after the delay in the first half, we did the draw and we performed better in the second half."

"We were in control of the match and we had the ball and we were hit," he said.
