A group of geology students revealed that Leicester City’s late celebrations against Norwich cause a minor earthquake in the city last month.
Leonardo Ulloa scored an 89th-minute winner against Norwich in February and the jubilant Leicester fans at the King Power stadium sent seismic waves throughout the city.
“A few days after we installed the equipment at the school and were analysing data collected, we noticed large peaks on the seismogram during football matches being held in the stadium nearby,” said first-year student Richard Hoyle.
“A closer look showed us there was a strong correlation between the exact time Leicester scored at home and the occurrence of the large seismic signals.
