Hazard put Chelsea ahead with a low, angled shot, before Marcos Alonso added a second when he slotted through Maarten Stekelenburg’s legs.

Diego Costa made it 3-0 just before half-time, and Hazard scored the pick of the goals after the break.

Pedro put the gloss on the result when he tapped into an empty net.

Everton spent the majority of the game penned in their own half and did not manage a shot on target in the entire 90 minutes as Chelsea produced a ruthless and dominant performance.

Many of the visiting supporters left Stamford Bridge well before the final whistle. Those that remained applauded Chelsea off the pitch, with the biggest ovation of all from the home fans reserved for Hazard, who capped a brilliant display with two superb goals.

Chelsea dominted the match 60% morethan their opponents on Saturday night thus giving them a beautiful win. Digeo Costa is currently the top scorer in the premier league with 3 assists this season

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: “It was a great game, a good performance. It is important for confidence to be top of the league. We have to continue as Everton is now in the past.

“The players deserve this because they show me great commitment and I can tell they are working very hard. The team has more balance defensively, but we don’t lose our offensive situation. We are creating more chances to score goals.

“Eden Hazard played an impressive game.

We all know he is a talented player. I see he is working a lot for the team and his team-mates are very happy for this. He must continue – he is showing his talent in every game.”

Everton manager Ronald Koeman: “The difference was too big between Chelsea and Everton. The one positive thing is it is only three points. “This system is very difficult to play against and really the Chelsea manager has brought a winning mentality to the players. They are hungry and they will fight for the title for sure.

“I expected more from my team. It was a big difference in every aspect. It was not about the system – the difference was the mentality to win the game. With five defenders we control it, after 2-0 it was over.”
