The Nigerian forward was in the middle of everything good for the Blues as they emphatically thrash Everton 5:0 at the Stamford Bridge.
Eden Hazard scored a goal in each half as Antonio Conte’s side registered their fifth successive top-flight win.
Hazard broke the deadlock in the 19th minute when he cut inside from the left to drive a shot past Maarten Stekelenburg and within a minute Marcos Alonso had arrived unmarked in the area to convert Pedro’s right-wing cross.
Diego Costa made it 3-0 before half-time from a corner and Hazard produced the goal of the match on 56 minutes, exchanging flicks with Pedro before ghosting in from the right to beat Stekelenburg at his near post.
Pedro completed the scoring for an exhillerating triumph that takes Chelsea a point clear at the top ahead of Sunday’s matches.
