However despite his industry the Nigerian failed to register a goal in the emphatic win thereby extending his run of matches without a goal in all competitions to 14.
The last time Iwobi scored for the Toffees was on 1 September 2019 in a 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
His headed goal came three days after his first ever goal, another header, in the League Cup when Everton defeated Lincoln City 4-2.
Meanwhile the Liverpool Echo rated Iwobi a decent 6/10 for his performance against the Blues that paraded Nigerian by blood England international Tammy Abraham but not Fikayo Tomori his teammate also born of a Nigerian father.
"Alex Iwobi - 6.
" (Iwobi) Was a little sloppy in possession on occasion which he will be disappointed with, but the winger stuck to his task expertly, staying wide to stretch the Chelsea defence and get himself in dangerous position on a regular basis," the Liverpool Echo wrote about the former Arsenal winger.
Everton's next Premier League match is on Sunday 15 December against Manchester United.
