Arsenal continued their remarkable Champions League campaign with a commanding 3-1 victory over Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to seven consecutive matches in the competition.
The Gunners took an early lead through Gabriel Jesus in the 10th minute, showcasing their attacking intent from the start. The Brazilian forward capitalized on a deflected effort to give the visitors the advantage in hostile territory. Inter responded swiftly, with Petar Sucic delivering a powerful equalizer just eight minutes later, finding the top corner to level the score.
Arsenal regained control before halftime when Jesus struck again in the 31st minute, demonstrating clinical finishing to restore the lead. The brace marked a significant milestone for Jesus, who has been working his way back to full fitness following a lengthy injury layoff.
The second half saw Inter push for an equalizer, but Arsenal’s defensive organization held firm. The Gunners sealed the victory in the 84th minute when substitute Viktor Gyokeres unleashed a spectacular strike from distance, putting the result beyond doubt.
This triumph guarantees Arsenal a top-two finish in the Champions League league phase, securing direct qualification to the knockout rounds and home advantage in the second leg of their upcoming playoff.
The win also represents Arsenal’s first victory in Italy since defeating AC Milan in March 2008, adding historical significance to an already impressive performance.
Manager Mikel Arteta made seven changes to his starting lineup, yet the rotated squad delivered a convincing display against the Serie A leaders. The result leaves Inter facing uncertainty about avoiding the playoff round, while Arsenal continues to set the standard in this season’s European competition.
