If anything, Maccabi improved in the second half, forcing Asmir Begovic into two excellent saves, but Chelsea's superior technique, pace and power paid dividends in the second half.
Willian curled home a delicious free-kick on 73 minutes, finally beating the inspired Rajkovic, before headers from Oscar (77) and Kurt Zouma in stoppage time completed the rout.
The defeat means Maccabi can no longer qualify for the Europa League as third-place finishers. They conclude their Champions League campaign against Dynamo Kiev on December 9, still without a goal in open play.
