Chelsea ruthlessly exposed Everton to keep the defence of their Women’s Super League title firmly in their own hands with four games remaining.
Guro Reiten, Sam Kerr, Pernille Harder, Sophie Ingle and Jessie Fleming scored in the first half as Chelsea maintained their perfect home record in the WSL.
Harder and Erin Cuthbert stretched the lead to seven after the break.
Chelsea move into second place in the table, four points behind Manchester United, with two games in hand.
The Blues will retain their title if they win their last four matches of the season.
Everton remain in sixth in the table.
