He shook Leicester with a historic goal, only to later feel ‘betrayed’ by Claudio Ranieri.

At the beginning of the 2015/16 season, Leicester City winning the Premier League seemed as unlikely as Piers Morgan becoming Arsenal’s next manager or Elvis Presley being discovered alive.

However, fueled by Claudio Ranieri’s quirky incentives—such as offering pizza for clean sheets—and Jamie Vardy’s decision to stick with football rather than pursue a job as a holiday rep in Ibiza, the Foxes defied all expectations and claimed the title.

Most of Leicester’s squad consisted of players overlooked by bigger English clubs, but as their confidence soared, they started believing in their title chances by Christmas.

Key figures such as Kasper Schmeichel, N’Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez, and Vardy received much of the credit, yet every squad member played a vital role.

One of the most unforgettable moments of that season came from a player who wasn’t always in the spotlight—Leonardo Ulloa.

Leonardo Ulloa’s Goal That Shook Leicester—Literally

Signed as Leicester’s record transfer for the 2014/15 season, Ulloa played a key role in the club’s remarkable escape from relegation, helping them win seven of their final nine matches.

During their title-winning campaign, he stepped up whenever Vardy was injured or suspended, scoring crucial goals like his equalizer against West Ham United and a brace against Swansea City.

However, his most iconic contribution came in a dramatic match against Norwich City.

With the game seemingly destined for a frustrating draw, Ulloa popped up in stoppage time to score the winner, sealing a vital 1-0 victory.

The King Power Stadium erupted with such intensity that it triggered a small earthquake.

A seismometer detected a 0.3 magnitude tremor, later dubbed the “Vardy Quake” in honor of Leicester’s talismanic striker.

Ulloa’s Fallout with Ranieri

Despite his contributions to Leicester’s fairy-tale season, Ulloa’s time at the club took a downturn in 2016/17.

The arrival of Islam Slimani intensified competition for places, and Ulloa found himself pushed to the sidelines, making just one league start.

Further frustration followed when Leicester rejected an offer from Sunderland, despite Ranieri telling him he wasn’t for sale.

To make matters worse, the Italian manager left Ulloa out of Leicester’s Champions League squad. Feeling sidelined and unwanted, the striker publicly expressed his frustration.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “With all respect for LCFC fans. I feel betrayed by Ranieri and let down by the club. I will not play again for them…”

Speaking to Sky Sports, he elaborated: “I am sad about the current situation because it’s been two wonderful years here.

But now, given that I’m not part of the plans, I feel the best thing for me is to leave and find happiness elsewhere. Staying will only harm my future and my career.”

What started as a dream season for Ulloa had, within a year, turned into a nightmare.

Though his time at Leicester ended in disappointment, his last-gasp goal against Norwich remains one of the most memorable moments in the club’s history—both for its significance in the title race and for literally shaking the city.
