Beth Mead heroics inspire Arsenal Women to comeback win over Brighton as Jonas Eidevall's side move four points clear of Chelsea at the Super League summit

England international Beth Mead proved to be the difference as Arsenal came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 and extend their lead at top of the Barclay's FA Women's Super League.

Trailing to the visitors' first goal in eight matches, Mead's free-kick presented Vivianne Miedema with a tap-in before she whipped home a direct set-piece as they moved four points clear of Chelsea.

Arsenal were rocked in the 15th minute by Emma Koivisto's twisting back-header from 10 yards which looped over Manuela Zinsberger, who was barely off her line.
