"Arsenal are now assured of finishing in the top two of the league phase after a dominant display at San Siro on Tuesday. Jesus demonstrated his poacher instincts to prod home their opener 10 minutes in, though last year's runners-up Inter levelled through Petar Sucic's thunderbolt. Yet Arsenal's set-piece proficiency came to the fore again in the 31st minute, with Leandro Trossard heading Bukayo Saka's deep corner off the crossbar, with Jesus on hand to nod in on the rebound."
"Marcus Thuram squandered a big chance for Inter prior to Jesus' second, but Arsenal did all the pressing early in the second half, with Saka a particular threat. And the pressure told as the Premier League leaders made it 3-1 when Gyokeres, who came on in place of Jesus, slammed in after latching onto a sublime pass from Gabriel Martinelli.
