Inter Milan vs Arsenal LIVE
Arsenal have confirmed a place in the Champions League round of 16 after beating Inter Milan on Tuesday night. A brace from Gabriel Jesus and a fine strike from substitute Viktor Gyokeres secured a 3-1 win for Arsenal and the result means they have guaranteed a top-two finish in this season’s league phase.
Before a ball had even been kicked at the San Siro, news of Manchester City’s shock defeat away at Bodo/Glimt earlier in the evening filtered through, handing the Gunners a huge boost. Two goals from Kasper Hogh and a strike from Jens Petter Hauge downed ten-man City, and in the process, confirmed Arsenal's place in the round of 16 with two games to spare.
However, needing a win to seal a top-two finish, Mikel Arteta’s side produced an impressive performance in Italy and the Gunners boss will be happy that both of his strikers got on the scoresheet on what was a perfect night. Follow Inter Milan vs Arsenal back below with Standard Sport's dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri!

Bastoni also in the book for pushing the Arsenal midfielder.

Inter 1-2 Arsenal
21:17 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne59 min: Thuram does well to hold off Mosquera and turns to shoot, forcing Raya into an easy save. Very good centre-forward play nonetheless.
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
21:16 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneSaka has been bang up for this from the start. He doesn't have two or three men on him every time he touches the ball, like he does in the Premier League, and he's relishing it.
Could easily have had a couple of assists already.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal

21:06 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne47 min: No changes for either side at the break. Do wonder if Arsenal will be as open as they were during the first half.

HALF-TIME
20:47 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThere goes the whistle.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:47 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne45 min: Just the one minute of added time to be played.
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
20:46 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneInter are obviously a very good team but it is strange seeing Arsenal give up this much space. Hosts are finding it fairly easy to run straight at the Arsenal defence and get shots away.
Entertaining match - Arteta will want it to be much less entertaining.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne43 min: Raya called into action to make a double save from Dimarco.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:43 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne42 min: Inter threaten again and Dimarco’s cross falls nicely for Martinez, he takes a wild swipe and misses before attempting to take the ball inside Trossard but fouls the Arsenal winger.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:42 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne40 min: It’s another great delivery by Saka but this time Sommer punches the ball clear and is clattered into by Merino for his troubles.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:41 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne39 min: Another Arsenal corner...
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne38 min: Really poor pass from Zubimendi when Arsenal were camped around the Inter penalty box, Thuram holds the ball up, plays in Luis Henrique but his lets the Gunners off the hook with a wild effort.
Inter 1-2 Arsenal
20:38 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne37 min: Proper centre forward’s goal by Gabriel Jesus tonight. The Brazilian does tend to save his best performances for the Champions League.
Almost another for Arsenal but Saka curls an effort just wide of the far post. Could he have slipped in Jesus or Eze there?
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
20:34 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWhatever the competition, Arsenal's set-pieces deliver. Just the 19 goals from corners now this season. Trossard and Jesus the two players to win headers!
GOAL! Inter 1-2 Arsenal | Gabriel Jesus ‘31
20:33 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne31 min: ARSENAL BACK IN FRONT!
Good run from Saka as he gets in down the right, beating Dimarco with ease but his cross is cleared for a corner which he will take...
Cross comes in and it’s headed home by Gabriel Jesus after Leandro Trossard met it at the back post.
Inter 1-1 Arsenal
20:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne29 min: Two brilliant goals inside the opening 20 minutes at the San Siro.
Inter 1-1 Arsenal
20:28 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne27 min: CHANCE!
Inter break on Arsenal at speed, Mosquera does really well to hold up Sucic who squares the ball to Thuram and he fires wide. Huge let-off for the Gunners.
Inter 1-1 Arsenal
20:27 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne25 min: Arsenal, slowly, getting a foothold in the game as Trossard forces a corner down the left and Eze comes over to take but his delivery is poor, failing to get the ball past the front post.
Inter 1-1 Arsenal
20:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne24 min: That is only the second goal Arsenal have conceded in the Champions League this season, and first away from home.
What a strike it was from Petar Sucic.
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
20:21 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneA match between these two sides doesn't scream end-to-end but it's been so open. Mosquera made two brilliant blocks to deny Thuram before Inter's equaliser, now Eze has a chance at the other end. Surely more goals to come.
GOAL! Inter 1-1 Arsenal | Petar Sucic ‘18
20:21 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne18 min: Arsenal's lead lasts all of eight minutes as Petar Sucic thunders home a superb equaliser!
Inter 0-1 Arsenal
20:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne17 min: Inter getting a bit of joy now, Timber is caught in possession in a dangerous position but is bailed out by Mosquera who makes a fine block to deny Thuram.
Inter 0-1 Arsenal
20:17 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne15 min: Superb reading of the play from Saliba as he cuts out Henrique’s attempted pass for Thuram in the middle. Inter just cranking up the pressure after a very quiet start.
Inter 0-1 Arsenal
20:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne14 min: Thuram does well against Mosquera but doesn’t have enough support from his team-mates and that means his pull-back is gathered in by Raya.
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
20:12 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneSo good from Jesus. His lay off on the edge of the area was key and he's then alert in the box to provide the sharp finish.
Arsenal with the goal their start has deserved.
GOAL! Inter 0-1 Arsenal | Gabriel Jesus ‘9
20:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne9 min: ARSENAL LEAD!
Gabriel Jesus with a poacher's finish to break the deadlock in the San Siro. The Brazilian reacted quickest to Jurrien Timber’s scuffed shot to turn the ball home.
Inter 0-0 Arsenal
20:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne7 min: Mosquera gives Sucic a nudge at the near post and Arsenal’s first set-piece of the night comes to nothing. Saka then does well to win his side a free-kick.
Standard Sport's Matt Verri
20:04 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneFurious pace to this match early on. Arsenal have won it back several times deep in Inter territory with barely three minutes on the clock. Already been in enough good positions to have taken the lead.
Inter 0-0 Arsenal
20:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne2 min: So much intent from Arsenal, this time Saka rolls the ball across the face of goal where Jesus is lurking but the Brazilian is nudged away and can’t make contact.
Inter 0-0 Arsenal
20:02 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne1 min: Not a bad start by Arsenal at all. Counted about four attempts at goal in the space of 15 seconds.

Arsenal qualify for round of 16
19:42 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneBefore even kicking a ball tonight, Arsenal have qualified for the round of 16 thanks to Bodo/Glimt’s win over Manchester City.
Arsenal in Ethan Nwaneri transfer U-turn
19:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneArsenal are now open to letting Ethan Nwaneri leave on loan this month, as talks take place with Marseille
The 18-year-old has had limited first-team involvement this season, making no starts in the Premier League and playing just 166 minutes.
Arsenal had previously planned to keep Nwaneri at the club this season, with Mikel Arteta keen to have as strong a squad as possible as the Gunners continue to challenge in all four competitions.
But Standard Sport understands that stance has changed and a loan move until the end of the season is now being considered.

Stay tuned...
Familiar faces
18:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneManuel Akanji, on loan from Manchester City, and former Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan are in contention to feature for Inter Milan tonight.
Gabriel Jesus reveals Arsenal contract wish after injury nightmare
18:31 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneGabriel Jesus is looking to extend his time at Arsenal beyond the end of his current contract.
The Brazilian's deal expires in 2027 and there have previously been suggestions that the Gunners could be open to selling Jesus before then.
However, Mikel Arteta insisted last month that the striker remained in his plans and Jesus has looked sharp since returning from 11 months out with an ACL injury.
Jesus revealed that no discussions have taken place with the club over a contract extension, but he is hoping those do take place.
Simeone snubs Arsenal, praises Inter
18:25 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneDiego Simeone branded Inter Milan “the strongest team in the Champions League” just a month after from heaping similar praise on Arsenal.
Simeone’s side squeezed past Inter on matchday five, with Jose Maria Gimenez netting in the 93rd minute to deny the Italians a point.
Reflecting on the victory, Simeone said he believed Inter were the team to beat in this season’s Champions League.
He said: “There’s no doubt about it. Inter are the strongest team in the Champions League right now."
Mikel Arteta reveals 'trick' for coping with hectic fixture schedule
18:20 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMikel Arteta joked he is having to trick his Arsenal players to get them through a hectic fixture schedule.
The Gunners are still going strong in all four competitions and should they reach three finals this season, they will play 65 matches in the campaign.
Tonight's clash against Inter Milan in the Champions League completes a run of four straight away matches, all in different competitions.
After visiting the Serie A leaders, Arsenal swiftly turn their attention to hosting Manchester United.
Reflecting on the challenges of the week ahead and what is still to come for his side this season, Arteta joked: "We keep tricking the players!"
Click here for Arteta's quotes in full!
Predicted Arsenal XI
18:15 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneArsenal remain without Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Max Dowman, with the trio not travelling to Milan.
Cristhian Mosquera is available, having been named on the bench last time out against Nottingham Forest, and could get his first minutes in more than six weeks.
Kai Havertz is also expected to be involved in some capacity, though it remains to be seen whether he is ready to start.
Arteta revealed after the draw with Forest that Bukayo Saka had been managing a "niggle" and he could opt to avoid any risks by leaving the winger on the bench.
Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino, Eze; Madueke, Jesus, Trossard.
Arsenal have a huge opportunity against Inter Milan
18:10 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneAfter six straight wins to start their Champions League campaign, Arsenal are effectively already through to the last 16, for all a draw is technically still needed from their last two matches to make it official, writes Matt Verri.
Finishing in the top two in the league-phase standings would earn the Gunners home advantage in the second legs of knockout ties right through to the final if they made it that far.
With Arsenal holding a five-point advantage over Paris Saint-Germain in third, and knowing they will host Kairat next week, there is really no jeopardy on tonight's Inter match.

Draws: 0
Inter Milan vs Arsenal prediction
17:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThis is a tough one to call. Arsenal will almost certainly qualify for the round of 16 and therefore, Mikel Arteta may pick a team with one eye on Sunday’s Premier League showdown against Manchester United.
Inter, on the other hand, are in danger of missing out on a top-eight finish so perhaps have the greater need for a win.
If last season’s meeting is any indication, one goal will be enough to settle this one.
Inter Milan to win, 1-0.
Arsenal team news
17:45 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe return of Cristhian Mosquera to the matchday squad against Nottingham Forest leaves Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori as the two senior Arsenal players in the treatment room.
Neither Hincapie or Calafiori trained on Monday which means Jurrien Timber is set to continue at left-back unless Mikel Arteta opts to hand Myles Lewis-Skelly a recall.
Inter Milan team news
17:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneInter will be without influential midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu for the visit of Arsenal as the Turkey international suffered a muscle strain in his left calf during the 2-2 draw with title rivals Napoli earlier in the month.
Denzel Dumfries, a key member of the Nerazzurri’s run to last season’s Champions League final is also out injured but Alessandro Bastoni and Marcus Thuram are expected to start having been rested for the win over Udinese at the weekend.
