N'Golo Kante Scores Stunner Against Former Club Leicester And Gary Lineker Reacts Perfectly

He was Leicester City's midfield maestro during the club's Premier League run in 2015/16, but the little magician has silenced the King Power this afternoon with a cracking strike from 25 yards.

Kante scored against his old club with a powerful effort, but refused to celebrate in front of a packed out King Power who once chanted his name.

That being said, the 26-year-old, who was crowned the PFA Player of the Year in 2016/17, received a rapturous welcome from the fans as the teams sheets were called out.

A superb mark of respect from the Leicester City fateful.

A number of Leicester City defenders decided to stand off Kanté as he ran towards goal, so the midfielder decided to shoot and brilliantly found the bottom corner from 25 yards

Seconds after Kante finished in style, Leicester City's Twitter page tweeted:

After Kante's impressive 25-yard effort came back to haunt his former side, the reaction on Twitter was huge and a certain Gary Lineker commented on the goal with a perfect reaction.

'How f*cking depressing" Lineker fumed:

Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter after Kante found the net:
