Alvaro Morata guided Chelsea to a 2-0 victory over Everton with a goal and an assist to Cesc Fabregas on Sunday as the Premier league champions further banished memories of their opening-day loss.
Fabregas put Chelsea in front after 27 minutes and Morata headed in a second goal before halftime.
Fabregas, back from a one-match suspension, and Pedro returned in place of Andreas Christensen and Tiemoue Bakayoko. And both Spaniards were influential. Wayne Rooney, concentrating on domestic duty following his England retirement, cut a frustrated figure at times as he tried to rouse Everton, which might have been reduced to 10 men inside 10 minutes.

3rd win gives Mou belief
MANCHESTER: Three wins out of three for Manchester United, just like the start of last season. No wonder Jose Mourinho is so restrained this time around.
"I'm not getting carried away," Mourinho said on Saturday after the 2-0 victory over leicester.
There is a change, though, at the start of Mourinho's second campaign — one the manager is keen to talk up. United has its swagger back. "The difference is the quality of our football," Mourinho said.
Messi scores 350th goal
MADRID: lionel Messi missed a penalty kick but rebounded by scoring his record 350th goal in the Spanish league in Barcelona's 2-0 win at Alaves on Saturday.
Messi also scored the second in leading the club to its second consecutive victory to start the league.
Barcelona was still without Ousmane Dembele, who was announced as Neymar's replacement on Friday, and it also couldn't count on the injured luis Suarez.
Barcelona struggled in the beginning but it gradually took control and cruised to victory following Messi's pair of second-half goals.
