Deadly Diego Costa sent Chelsea eight points clear at the top of the Premier League on his 100th appearance for the club.
The 28-year-old marksman struck in first-half injury time to notch his 15th goal of the season. Gary Cahill headed an 80th-minute second.
Costa had been left out of the Blues’ winning trip to Leicester last week after a row with boss Antonio Conte over a back injury he’d picked up.
The clash came as it emerged that Chinese club Tianjin Quinjian were been prepared to offer him a £576,000-a-week pay packet to quit England.
The match was stopped for nine minutes during the first half after a sickening clash of heads between Hull midfielder Ryan Mason and Chelsea defender Gary Cahill.
Cahill was able to continue but Mason needed lengthy treatment before being stretchered off with oxygen and taken to hospital.
