Overview
- Arsenal beat Inter Milan 3-1 at the San Siro as Gabriel Jesus scored twice in the first half, Petar Sucic equalised, and Viktor Gyokeres added a late third.
- The victory confirms a top-two league-phase finish and home advantage for second legs, with Arsenal perfect at seven wins from seven and on 21 points.
- Jesus made his first Champions League start of the season after an almost year-long cruciate injury layoff, signalling a renewed option in attack.
- Gyokeres, who has struggled for goals, was benched but scored off the bench to keep pressure on for the starting role ahead of the weekend.
- Inter slipped to ninth on 12 points and face a precarious push for automatic qualification with a final league-phase trip to Borussia Dortmund.
