James Pearson, son of Leicester City boss Nigel, scored a stunning strike as City claimed another pre-season win last night.
City had lead through David Nugent's first half strike at MK Dons, his fourth of pre-season, when Pearson hammered home an unstoppable half-volley into the top corner.
His father scored a few goals himself during his playing career, but it is unlikely he ever scored one better.
It meant City retained their unbeaten record as they continue the build-up to the big kick-off of the Premier League.
Pearson had split his squad into two to give as many of his players a full 90 minutes of match action as possible with less than two weeks to the season opener at home to Everton.
City opted for a 4-4-2 formation with Chris Wood and David Nugent again teamed in attack, while Riyad Mahrez and Marc Albrighton were given run outs on the flanks.
Development squad players Pearson and Kieran Kennedy were also given starts in defence.
It may have been an exercise in match fitness but the individual performances were also important with competition fierce for starting berths against Everton.
City certainly dominated the first half and created some good chances with Jeff Schlupp, who is battling with Paul Konchesky for the left-back spot, testing keeper David Martin in the fifth minute after his overlapping run was picked out by Mahrez.
Albrighton, on the other flank, was also putting in some excellent crosses and it was his ball in to the box which was eventually turned into the net by Wood in the 19th minute only for the linesman's flag to rule his effort out.
City did take a deserved lead five minutes later when Nugent, who looked sharp, produced an excellent piece of skill to create space for himself. His shot from 20 yards out was deflected past Martin.
Martin was certainly the busier keeper and he was called on to stop efforts from Wood and Mahrez as City looked to increase their advantage.
The hosts finally started to threaten late on in the half and Ray Lewington's deflected shot was held by Ben Hamer, while Dele Alli went close just before the break after good work from Benik Afobe, on loan from Arsenal.
Nugent should have added another after the break when he met Mahrez's cross but he planted a free header over the bar from eight yards.
The hosts upped their game after that and almost equalised in bizarre fashion when Darren Potter sliced his cross and it beat Hamer and cannoned back off the far post to safety.
But City still looked as though they would take control again and Albrighton picked out Wood, who fluffed his volley.
Hamer has made a few errors during pre-season and he dropped a cross at the feet of Afobe, in the 66th minute, but Andy King was well placed to clear off the line.
But Pearson then smashed home his half volley from 25 yards, giving Martin no chance. Jack Barmby almost made it 3-0 just seconds after coming on but his finish was blocked on the line.
