"Gabriel Jesus struck a first-half brace to fire an unstoppable Arsenal to an impressive 3-1 victory against Inter Milan and confirm their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Jesus opened the scoring at San Siro after just 10 minutes before Petar Sucic blasted the hosts level eight minutes later. However, Jesus doubled his tally in the 31st minute and substitute Viktor Gyökeres struck six minutes from time as Arsenal recorded their seventh triumph in as many matches in Europe so far."
"Arsenal, who have already seen off Bayern Munich, Atlético Madrid and now last year's beaten finalists and remain the only team in the competition to have won all of their group fixtures, are guaranteed to finish in the top two. It means Mikel Arteta's side will be assured of hosting the second legs in their knockout matches. Arsenal have one final group game -- a home contest against Kazakhstan's Kairat a week on Wednesday --"
"Jesus, among seven changes by Arteta ahead of his side's pivotal Premier League clash against Manchester United, was making his first start in Europe in 405 days in place of Gyökeres. And the Brazilian's eye-catching performance could see Gyökeres, despite his late goal, warm the bench again for the visit of Michael Carrick's side on Sunday. Jesus struck his first after 10 minutes after popping Eberechi Eze's pass to Mikel Merino, who in turn found Myles Lewis-Skelly."
Gabriel Jesus scored twice as Arsenal won 3-1 at San Siro against Inter Milan, securing a place in the Champions League last 16. Petar Sucic levelled shortly after Jesus's early opener, but Jesus restored the lead in the 31st minute. Substitute Viktor Gyökeres added a late goal to complete the victory, marking Arsenal's seventh European win in seven matches. Arsenal have already beaten Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid and remain the only team to have won all group fixtures. The side is guaranteed a top-two finish and will host second legs in the knockout stage; a point at home to Kairat will confirm group winners.
