Last week: the ridiculous, this week: the sublime.
James Maddison spent last Saturday night apologising to fans for a dive that earned him a red card at Brighton.
Seven days on and it was adulation pouring in from the other direction after one of the most brilliant goals the King Power Stadium has seen.
It helped Leicester secure a straight-forward home win over Watford but the big moment will be better-remembered than the result.
The goal started and ended with Maddison: first, a smart angled pass into the feet of Jamie Vardy. Vardy spun and with two touches sent Marc Albrighton away down the right.
Watford were struggling to get back and with a lofted cross-field ball, Albrighton split them apart and put it on to the right boot of Maddison 25 yards out.
Then, the magic: right foot, left shoulder, left knee, right foot. The ball didn’t touched the ground as Maddison juggled it through two defenders and slammed it into Ben Foster’s bottom corner as it dropped.
He fell to his knees and pointed to the sky in celebration.
This is a first home Premier League win for Leicester since Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s tragic death and with his son Khun Top watching on it was another emotional day here.
Watford fans paid tribute with a banner reading: 'Thank you Vichai for allowing us all to dream.’ Leicester repaid with free food and drink for the away following at half-time.
But their team were less hospitable. Leicester broke the deadlock with Jamie Vardy’s penalty after an exciting end-to-end opening, doubled their lead with Maddison’s wonder-goal and then sent Javi Gracia’s side to a third defeat in four matches.
The Hornets had started the stronger with Roberto Pereyra and Gerard Deulofeu sparky on the counter-attack but Leicester were the more calculated side going forward.
That showed when, on 11 minutes, Ben Chilwell advanced down the left before spotting the opportune moment to slip a pass through to Vardy.
It was a situation Vardy, 31, has been in hundreds of times before. He burst into the area, looked to take the ball around Foster and when tripped by the goalkeeper he fell to the floor. Penalty.
Foster pleaded with referee Graham Scott but he had little grounds for appeal and moments later was diving low to his left as Vardy slammed the spot-kick to his right.
At the other end, Isaac Success’ header at a corner was unconvincingly seen away by a combination of Kasper Schmeichel and Jonny Evans. A sniff of a way back into the game denied.
Moments later though, Maddison, Vardy and Albrighton were springing forward for the brilliant second goal to as good as kill the game.
Watford didn’t stop trying: Success stormed on to Deulofeu’s through ball 10 minutes before half-time and should have scored, only to blaze over under pressure after a battle with his marker.
Deulofeu continued to be the most dangerous man in yellow after the break and he was unfortunate not to make a decisive contribution when Ricardo Pereira’s slide diverted his cross-shot into Schmeichel’s arms. Anywhere else and it was an own goal.
Pereyra steered another opening inches wide of the post before both Watford pace-setters was substituted.
Chances continued to come and Leicester had some hairy moments — but Watford didn’t have anyone to put them away with the same clinical class as Maddison.
And when Etienne Capoue was sent off in stoppage time for a two-footed lunge that was needless and daft, in the middle of the field on substitute Kelechi Iheanacho, Watford’s miserable afternoon was complete.
