Arsenal maintained their perfect Champions League record with a 3–1 victory at Inter Milan, securing a guaranteed top-two finish in the league phase and extending their longest-ever winning streak in the competition to seven matches.
The Gunners dominated from the outset and took a deserved lead after just 10 minutes when Gabriel Jesus poked in from close range. Inter responded with their best spell of the match, and Petar Sucic equalised with a powerful, curling effort from the edge of the box after Arsenal failed to clear their lines.

But Arsenal, as they have done so often this season, reasserted control. In the 31st minute, Leandro Trossard headed Bukayo Saka’s deep corner back across goal, allowing the unmarked Jesus to nod in his second. It was Arsenal’s 19th goal from a corner this season — the most of any side in Europe’s top five leagues.
In a match reported by the BBC, substitute Viktor Gyökeres added a late third with a superb curling strike six minutes from time, ensuring a comfortable finish and preserving Arsenal’s flawless campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s side have now gone four consecutive away matches unbeaten across all competitions, with impressive wins over Chelsea, Portsmouth and Inter, alongside a draw at Nottingham Forest that nevertheless extended their Premier League lead to seven points.
