Pedro opened the scoring with a stunning strike from the edge of the area - to complete a brilliant game for the Spaniard.
Gary Cahill bundled in a second before Willian capped off a three goal win by converting Cesc Fabregas' pull-back.
The result puts the Blues seven points ahead of Tottenham ahead of the North London Derby.
Here are our player ratings...
Everton:
Stekelenburg 6
Didn't have too much to deal with and no chance for Pedro's incredible strike
Holgate 7
Impressive display from the youngster who stuck at his task so well
Jagielka 6
Caught flat footed for Pedro's goal, but showed his experience here
Williams 7
Did as well against Costa as anyone this season, showed strength and nous
Baines 6
No easy job against Chelsea's fluid attack, but was never in trouble
Davies 8
Fine performance that belied his age. Compared to Bryan Robson, can see why
Gueye 7
Booked. Had the unenviable task of marking Hazard, didn't disappoint
Barkley 6
Played deeper in midfield and you can see why manager prefers him forward
Valencia 6
Booked. Lots of pace and energy, perhaps needs a touch more quality
Lukaku 6
Battled bravely against a tough Chelsea back line and created chances
Calvert-Lewin 6
Booked. Started with a charge, but eventually inexperience showed
Subs:
Kone 6 (Valencia 72)
Mirallas 6 (Calvert-Lewin 72)
Chelsea:
Courtois 6
One fine stop from Valencia's cross, otherwise had quiet afternoon.
Azpilicueta 6
Booked. Troubled early on by Lukaku, but grew strongly into game
Luiz 7
Has his critics but used all his experience to deal with Lukaku threat
Cahill 7
Booked. Led by example and then popped up with important goal
Moses 6
Solid and dependable as always, but not too much beyond that
Kante 7
Had a challenge with the energy of Everton's youth, met it as expected
Matic 6
One or two moments when out-run, but still rarely put foot wrong
Alonso 6
Hard to criticise after such big win, but could be better with delivery
Pedro 9
MOTM. From the start pace was massive threat and goal showed his class
Costa 6
Booked. Could have been dismissed for high foot, but strong display
Hazard 7
Booked. Livewire performance as expected, and wore Everton down
Subs:
Fabregas 6 (Pedro 82)
Ake 6 (Luiz 82)
Willian 6 (Hazard 85)
