Marcus Rashford converted from the spot after being brought down by Kurt Zouma in the opening 20 minutes.
Anthony Martial added the second with a close-range volley in the 65th minute before Rashford struck once more moments later.
Second-half substitute Daniel James added insult to injury with a debut goal, dragging a deflected offer past Kepa to make it four.
It was a difficult first day at the office for Frank Lampard, who selected a number of Chelsea academy graduates in a youthful looking line-up only to see his side blown away in the second-half.
