Eden Hazard scored twice as Chelsea climbed to the top of the Premier League for the first time since August with a stylish victory over Everton.
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.
Marten de Roon's injury-time equaliser snatched a draw for Middlesbrough as Manchester City were made to pay for sloppy second-half perfomance at Etihad Stadium
Sergio Aguero put City ahead, stabbing in Kevin de Bruyne's cross for his 150th City goal with their 18th shot of the afternoon.
Boro were hugely improved after the break and Alvaro Negredo brought a fine save from Claudio Bravo with an audacious lob from the halfway line.
Pep Guardiola's side looked to have withstood the isolated spells of Boro pressure but De Roon's header from George Friend's 91st-minute cross denied them.
It was the midfielder's first goal in a Middlesbrough shirt, and came just a minute after De Bruyne missed an empty net following a mistake by Boro keeper Victor Valdes.
Five minutes before that, Aguero missed another clear chance to seal the win, firing badly wide when found by Jesus Navas in the box.
Sunderland, bottom of the table and without a win all season, fought back for a shock 2-1 victory at Bournemouth.
Victor Anichebe equalised Dan Gosling's early goal for the home side and despite being under pressure with 10 men after midfielder Steven Pienaar was sent off for a second yellow card, the Black Cats claimed three points at last thanks to Jermain Defoe's penalty.
It was the former England striker's sixth goal of the season.
"It's been difficult but we showed great team spirit and character," Defoe said.
"We got a bit of luck at the right time," added manager David Moyes, who had to watch the match from the stands after being dismissed from the dugout at Southampton last week.
Crystal Palace suffered a fourth successive defeat, losing 3-2 at Burnley to a stoppage-time goal after fighting back from conceding two early goals.

Substitute Connor Wickham pulled a goal back for the London side early in the second half and record signing Christian Benteke equalised with a penalty.
Even after Ashley Barnes put Burnley back in front in added time, Palace's Andros Townsend hit the post in a dramatic finish.
A fourth home win of the season sent promoted Burnley into ninth position and pushed Palace down two places into the bottom six.
"It's fantastic to be ninth in the table for a club like Burnley," Burnley manager Sean Dyche said. "There are questions asked of us in the Premier League but we're enjoying the ride."
Stoke City extended their unbeaten run to six games with a 1-1 draw at West Ham.
