It might be a line you have read a lot recently, but Thomas Tuchel and his players deserve tons of credit for their performances over the past two weeks.
If you just watched Chelsea's displays without any knowledge of what has been happening surrounding the ownership, you would think life around Stamford Bridge has been pretty normal. But of course, it hasn't.
Although this was an evening where Chelsea matched their best winning run in the league this season and showed further signs of attacking improvement, the day that preceded it has put the club's entire future in a perilous position.
But it was soothing for supporters to at least for ninety minutes, focus on the football and several positives to glean from this win at Carrow Road.
Despite making four changes from the win at Burnley last Saturday, one enforced due to Reece James' injury, the first-half performance, in particular, was highly enjoyable.
Here is our Good, Bad and Ugly after the win over Norwich.
Good: Money Mase rediscovers Kai connection
It feels ironic that when Kai Havertz originally signed for Chelsea, there were claims it would hurt Mason Mount's progression. But in reality, it has been the complete opposite.
The pair iconically combined for the Champions League winning goal last May, and on Thursday night, the two cut the Canaries to ribbons.
Mount put in his best performance in months, floating in and out of space, showing the level of relentless pressing we've come to expect.
The Cobham graduate's right-footed finish was simply sublime, and Havertz's goal was devastating to wrap up the points.
Bonus points for the badge kiss in front of the away end.
Bad: Careless Trev and Tepid Timo
We don't have tons of bad tonight, which is always nice.
The most obvious is Trevoh Chalobah's lazy arm to gift a penalty, allowing Norwich back into a game that looked finished at half-time. It is a shame because Chalobah opened the scoring with his fourth of his breakthrough season.
Chelsea didn't suffer many more scares but briefly left the door open.
Ugly: Carry On Corners
Leicester's awful defending from Chelsea corners earlier in the season could probably rival how hapless Norwich was in the first half on Thursday.
It is a perfect demonstration of why they are likely doing back down to the Championship. Chalobah's simple header put Chelsea on route to a pretty routine three points.
Chelsea could have scored more from corners, looking dangerous every time a ball was swung into the Norwich box.
