Leicester v Norwich last minute winner caused an earthquake

Recommended Posts

Reported by BBC

An "earthquake" made by football fans celebrating a goal has been recorded for the first time in the UK.

A University of Leicester team installed a seismometer near Leicester City''s King Power stadium and reported a minor quake with a magnitude of 0.3.

The tremor was attributed to a "sudden energy release" made by Foxes fans when Leonardo Ulloa scored a last-minute winner against Norwich, in February.

The event has been labelled the "Vardy Quake" after top scorer Jamie Vardy.
