Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall was quick to praise 'world-class' forward Beth Mead after her goal and historic assist lifted the league-leading Gunners to a critical 2-1 win over Brighton.
Eidevall’s side looked to be in for a tricky night when a backwards header by Emma Koivisto on 15 minutes saw them still trailing the Seagulls at the start of the second half.
But an impressive rally saw Arsenal pile on the pressure, Mead curling in a stunning game-winner from a free kick five minutes after she set up Vivianne Miedema for the equaliser, Mead's 35th league assist bringing her level with Karen Carney on the all-time Barclays FA Women's Super League list.
