Arsenal continued their strong form in Europe as they thrashed Inter Milan 3-1 in the Champions League, securing a top-two finish in the league phase with ease. Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres were the heroes of the night, with both players scoring crucial goals to seal the victory.
Jesus was unstoppable, netting his first goal since April last year with a clinical finish from close range, before Petar Sucic levelled for Inter. The Gunners took control of the game midway through the second half, however, as Leandro Trossard's headed effort gave Jesus a simple tap-in to make it 2-1.
Jesus' double sealed the win for Arsenal in the dying minutes of the match, as Viktor Gyokeres came off the bench to score a stunning equaliser for Inter, before Jesus' second goal sealed the victory. The win marked Arsenal's fifth Champions League success of the season and cements their top-two spot in the league.
Arteta was beaming with pride after the win, praising his team's courage, attitude, and willingness to go to another level on the pitch. He also lavished praise on Jesus, saying that he deserved man of the match award for all his hard work. The Arsenal manager admitted that writing a better result would have been perfect, but couldn't hide his joy at securing the win.
The victory marked an impressive display from Arsenal, who showed their ability to come to the San Siro and beat one of Europe's top teams. The Gunners' momentum is building ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United, where Jesus has put himself firmly in contention to start over Gyokeres.
Arsenal's win also raises questions about Arteta's team selection policy. With both Jesus and Gyokeres scoring crucial goals, the manager must now decide who will start on Sunday against their city rivals. The decision could be a challenge for Arteta, but his side showed that they have the quality to overcome any obstacle.
As Arsenal look ahead to the final stretch of the season, there is no doubt that they will be considered one of the top contenders in Europe. With Jesus and Gyokeres forming a potent striking duo, the Gunners' victory over Inter Milan marked an important step towards securing a Champions League place.
