After securing the Championship title the previous week, Leicester City were looking forward to a celebratory match against Brighton, who were fighting for a play-off spot. However, what was meant to be a joyful occasion for Foxes fans turned into a nightmare as Brighton cruised to a dominant 4-1 victory at the King Power Stadium. One player who stood out in that encounter was Leonardo Ulloa, who netted twice for the Seagulls.

Leonardo Ulloa’s impact at Brighton was undeniable, as he was clinical in front of goal, scoring 28 goals in fewer games for the Seagulls than the 20 he would later net for Leicester City. His standout performance in Brighton’s 4-1 victory over Leicester in 2014 played a key role in the Foxes’ decision to bring him to the King Power the following summer for £8 million.
At Leicester, Ulloa was part of the squad that made history by qualifying for the Champions League, and although his time at the club saw him fall out of favour, he made a brief return to Brighton on loan. Ultimately, he moved on to Mexico, joining Pachuca, but his spell at Leicester remains significant, contributing to their Premier League triumph and European journey.
