Arsenal‘s unbeaten Champions League streak was snapped by a extremely debated penalty as Inter Milan triumphed at San Siro.
Just seconds earlier than halftime, Inter was awarded a penalty when Mikel Merino was controversially referred to as for a handball on a fast Mehdi Taremi flick, leaving him little probability to react. Despite Arsenal’s protests, the VAR confirmed the choice, and Hakan Calhanoglu coolly drilled the penalty straight down the center, marking Arsenal’s first purpose conceded in Europe this season.
The Gunners fought again fiercely within the second half, with Gabriel’s header cleared from the road by Dumfries and Yann Sommer making a superb save to disclaim Havertz’s curling strike. Havertz got here shut once more, solely to see his shot blocked by a diving Yann Bisseck.
In the tip, Arsenal’s relentless efforts couldn’t salvage their report, handing them their first European lack of the season and dropping them to twelfth within the standings.
