Amid the chaos - and sadness - Thiago Silva stood completely unruffled. Calmest personified, the Chelsea defender navigated through the bedlam that is Tottenham versus Chelsea without barely breaking into a sweat.
It’s crazy to think that Silva turns 37 on Wednesday. Here, the Brazilian won the game for his team.
Not just because of the header that put Chelsea on course for a victory that bolstered their title credentials - his performance here was so much more than that.
When those around him appeared to be getting caught up in the emotion of the occasion, tragically amplified by the news of Jimmy Greaves’ sad passing, Silva was a beacon of composure and quality.
