The 30-year-old striker revealed he was desperate to find the net again following his goal against Wolves before Christmas as he feared being stuck on 99 for some time. But the striker climbed out of his sickbed to hit a first-half double to sink struggling Blackburn and smash through the ton barrier. He said: "I am really pleased and proud to get 100 league goals. I feel very pleased and proud with that. "I am more pleased to get it out of the way to be honest, because the longer you are on 99 the harder it is to get to 100. "Hopefully now that is out of the way I can look forward to many more. I was suffering quite a bit with illness but I have certainly felt back to my best today."
