Arsenal beat Inter Milan, Gabriel Jesus scores double to secure Champions League last 16

Arsenal are through to the Champions League last 16 after a 3-1 win at Inter Milan on Tuesday. Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus scored twice in the first half to put the Gunners ahead, with Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres adding a late third. The result makes Arsenal mathematically certain of a top-eight finish, securing direct qualification to the knockout stage. Arsenal now lead the league phase with 21 points, six clear of Bayern Munich. For Inter, this was their third straight European defeat, leaving them at risk of dropping out of the top eight and into the playoff rounds. The match saw Jesus, 28, return to form after recovering from a cruciate ligament tear that kept him out for nearly a year. He was a constant threat throughout the match. Arsenal now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. With Jesus finding his rhythm and Gyokeres scoring in a league game for the first time, Mikel Arteta faces a selection dilemma for the weekend. Is this Jesus's resurgence a boost for Arsenal's title push, or will Arteta stick with his regular starters?
