The Nigeria international turned provider for the Toffees second goal, playing a lovely backheel to Richarlison after a brilliant one-two with the Brazilian.
Fleetwood were not going to give up so easily and pulled one back through second-half substitute Mark Duffy two minutes after the restart.
Everton would go on to extend their lead not too long after thanks to Iwobi, Nigerian tapping home with consummate ease after being fed by Richarlison. It marked the first time the Arsenal academy graduate scored and assisted in the same match for the first time in his club career.
Fleetwood again cut the deficit, this time from Callum Camps in the 58th minute, but Everton were equally in the mood to get more goals and added a fourth through Bernard and substitute Moise Kean wrapping things up in added time with the fifth.
The victory will see Everton face West Ham United in the Carabao Cup fourth round at Goodison Park next week.
Iwobi had a brilliant evening, recording a total of five shots, four successful dribbles from seven attempts, 78 touches on the ball and 48 completed passes from 54 with accuracy at 89%
The Super Eagles star played 25 times in all competitions last season having joined from Arsenal, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

The Toffees kicked off their campaign first with a 1-0 Premier League win at Tottenham Hotspur followed by a 3-0 triumph over Salford City in the second round of the League Cup.
The next was an emphatic 5-2 win over newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion in the league on Saturday.

Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for approving the construction of the section two of the Ohafia-Arochukwu road in Abia North Senatorial zone of Abia State.
Igbere TV had previously reported how the Federal Executive Council (FEC), on Wednesday, approved the sum of N12 billion for the construction of the said road project. Kalu represents the affected district.
In a statement personally signed by Kalu representing the Abia North district and made available to Igbere TV, he expressed sincere appreciation to President Buhari for what he referred to as a great favour to the people of his constituency.
He said getting the road approved has increased his fulfillment as a representative of the people, adding that it would breath life into the economy and livelihood of Ohafia and Arochukwu.
He commended the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan; Speaker House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Acting Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Works, Engr AbubakarAliyu; Chairman Senate Committee on Works, Senator Adamu Aliero; Managing Director Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) Mr Uche Orji; Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Interior, Barr.

CBN’s dollar restrictions killing our businesses, Nigerians cry out by Blackgoldreport:
Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction over new foreign exchange restrictions imposed on bank customers by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Legit.ng gathered that majority of bank customers with domiciliary accounts are barred from effecting direct FX transfers to third parties and/or withdrawing their own dollars over the counter under the new restrictions.
Speaking on the new policy, the founder of the financial advisory portal, The Money Africa, Oluwatosin Olaseinde, took to Twitter to lament the new policy on Tuesday, September 22.
She tweeted: “We have just been informed that customers can no longer effect FX transfers directly to third parties. Customers can only sell such funds to the bank. Consequently, FX transfers will be disabled on internet banking.”
Recall that the CBN had on August 24, issued a circular removing buying agents/companies or any third parties from accessing its inter-bank retail Secondary Market Intervention Sales (SMIS) forex window through FORM M forex purchases. In the circular, the apex bank instructed that “authorised dealers are hereby directed to desist from the opening of Form M whose payment is routed through a buying company/agent or any other third parties.”
The CBN said its decision was to ensure prudent use of our foreign exchange resources and eliminate incidences of over-invoicing, transfer pricing, double handling charges, and avoidable costs that are ultimately passed to the average Nigerian consumer.
Reacting to Olaseinde’s tweet, many Nigerians berated the CBN for constraining customer’s use of their hard-earned resources.
In his reaction, a Twitter user @dapsonblue asked the federal government to focus on developing local production, rather than make life unbearable for the citizens.
He said: “They should focus on developing local production, they have little power of dollars.”
Other tweets show the displeasure of Nigerians to the CBN's policy with many placing the blame at CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele's feet. Some even went further suggesting that Mr Emefiele should resign.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, September 10, directed the CBN not to issue foreign exchange for food and importation of fertilizer.
It was reported that the president gave this directive to the CBN during the meeting of the National Food Security held in Abuja.
