Overview
- Arsenal won 3-1 at the San Siro as Gabriel Jesus scored twice and Viktor Gyokeres added a late goal after Petar Sucic’s equaliser for Inter.
- Jesus made his first European start in 405 days after an 11-month knee layoff and was lauded by Mikel Arteta, who said the team “went to another level.”
- The result keeps Arsenal perfect at seven wins from seven and lifts them to 21 points, guaranteeing automatic progression to the last 16.
- Gyokeres’ cameo strike and Jesus’ brace intensify Arteta’s selection call at centre-forward ahead of Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Manchester United.
- Inter slipped to a precarious position outside the top eight and face a likely play-off to reach the last 16 after a third consecutive Champions League defeat.
