First-half goals from Cesc Fabregas and Alvaro Morata earned Chelsea a comfortable 2-0 victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
The Premier League champions opened the scoring through Fabregas' smart finish in the 27th minute before summer signing Morata headed home his second Premier League goal of the season five minutes before half-time.
The result means Chelsea go into the international break on the back of two straight victories, after recovering from the disappointment of their opening-day defeat at home to Burnley.
The home side dominated from the off and after forcing Jordan Pickford into early saves from David Luiz and Pedro they opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a goal that was both started and finished by Fabregas.

The Spaniard, on his return from suspension, played a quick free-kick to Willian on the right flank before receiving the ball back and finding Morata in the area. The striker flicked it up and nodded it back into the path of Fabregas to smartly volley home with the outside of his boot.
Antonio Conte's side deservedly doubled their lead 13 minutes later when Cesar Azpilicueta delivered a quality cross into the box and Morata evaded the attention of Michael Keane before heading beyond a stranded Pickford.
Muhamed Besic was named on the bench for Everton, despite reports that his father was hospitalised after being shot in Bosnia on Saturday, and was introduced by Ronald Koeman at half-time to add some steel to their midfield.
And Everton enjoyed their first chance of the match five minutes after the break when Wayne Rooney, playing for the first time since announcing his international retirement this week, released Sandro Ramirez - only to see the Spaniard scuff his shot.
Chelsea wasted a number of chances to score a third as Pedro fizzed a shot narrowly wide and Victor Moses shot straight at Pickford after finding himself in space in the Everton penalty area.
The visitors enjoyed a flurry of late chances as Ashley Williams' speculative effort landed on the roof of the net and he then headed Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross narrowly wide, while Idrissa Gueye forced Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to tip a long-range drive over the bar.
But Everton were ultimately second best as they suffered their first defeat of the season.
