Inter Milan 1-3 Arsenal: Gabriel Jesus scores twice as Gunners guarantee top-two spot
This match was Arsenal’s fourth on the road in all competitions and the Gunners once again showed that whoever they face will be difficult to stop.
What’s even more impressive is that they have remained unbeaten in all of these matches with wins against Chelsea, Portsmouth and Inter Milan. A point at Nottingham Forest, although disappointing at the time, still allowed them to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.
Boss Mikel Arteta has managed to rotate his squad during this period with seven changes to Milan, three to Forest and eight for the Carabao Cup semi-final at Chelsea – such is the depth at his disposal this season.
He’ll need his team to stay in shape as they head into the end of the season, but it looks like things are starting to fall into place for him.
Jesus, who was starting only his third game this season after returning from an 11-month absence due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, also looked sharp.
His two goals ended a run of 10 Champions League matches without scoring – the last coming in November 2023 against Lens – while his compatriot Gyokeres boosted his confidence with a goal.
As Kai Havertz builds up his fitness following his return from a knee injury, being able to call upon strikers capable of scoring goals will be crucial for Arteta’s side in their quest for a trophy.
