The mini 'quake measured 0.4 on the richter scale, with student Richard Hoyle telling the Leicester Mercury that it beat the previous previous largest measurement, recorded when Leonardo Ulloa scored a last minute winner against Norwich.
"We called it the Vardyquake phenomenon and it struck again on Saturday. It was absolutely brilliant. We were watching the match at the university as we monitored our equipment.

"The largest we'd recorded was 0.3 when Leicester City played Norwich but this was something else. "Andy King's goal also managed 0.4. There's no doubt the packed stadium helped, but Vardy also got a record for scoring a penalty, when that got a 0.3 magnitude - the most powerful we've seen for a penalty."For the record, these are pretty tiny earthquakes. In 1984 Ireland experienced a 5.4 on the richter scale, which is someway short of 1960 Valdivia Earthquake, which measured 9.6 in Chile.
