Gabriel Jesus struck twice as Arsenal beat Inter Milan 3-1 in the Champions League, securing their place in the last 16. The Brazilian forward, starting for just the third time this season after a year-long injury layoff, was named man of the match. His brace included his first Champions League goal in over two years, with Viktor Gyökeres adding a late third.

The victory extends Arsenal's historic run of seven consecutive European wins, a first for the club. It also boosts their confidence ahead of a crucial Premier League clash with Manchester United. Jesus’s return provides Mikel Arteta with a vital alternative to Gyökeres, who scored off the bench. Arsenal now top their UCL group and the domestic table.

Jesus, 28, called it a "dream night," fulfilling a childhood ambition to score at San Siro. His comeback from an ACL tear has been gradual, with this performance a major milestone. Arteta now has a potent striker battle, with both Jesus and Gyökeres contributing. Arsenal’s European ambitions are clear, though the club has never won the competition.
