Mikel Arteta praised Gabriel Jesus after his two-goal performance against Inter Milan in the Champions League. The manager described the display as evidence of Arsenal's "incredible" squad depth. This comes as a timely boost for the Gunners, who have navigated a congested fixture list with multiple players contributing.

Jesus's brace against a European giant like Inter underscores his importance when fully fit. His form provides a crucial alternative to Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka on the wings. Arsenal's ability to rotate without a significant drop in quality is a key advantage in both domestic and European competitions this season.

The result keeps Arsenal in strong contention to advance from a challenging Champions League group. Arteta's faith in his entire squad will be vital as they chase silverware on multiple fronts. The coming weeks will test this depth further, with crucial Premier League fixtures on the horizon.
