Everton’s Beto scored in the first half and added another after the break, while Iliman Ndiaye sealed the win with a third goal.
Chelsea failed to pose any serious threat and looked disorganized throughout the match.
The loss means Chelsea cannot catch league leaders Arsenal, who currently have 70 points with seven matches remaining.
Defending champions Liverpool, with 49 points, are also nearing mathematical elimination from the title race.
