Koivisto‘s goal came minutes after she had performed heroics to clear a goal-bound effort off the line.
Arsenal trailed at the break, but they have star quality and Vivianne Miedema drew them level on 55 minutes when turning home Beth Mead’s free-kick at the far post.
Mead went from provider to scorer five minutes later, once again showing her dead-ball prowess by curling a free-kick round the wall and into the corner of the net from 20 yards.
The win keeps Arsenal four points ahead of champions Chelsea who have a game in hand, while Brighton remain in eighth.
