Mead, who plays for Sunderland, picked the ball up about 30 yards from goal, turned and nutmegged a defender before curling a brilliant right-footed effort into the far corner.
It was England's second point of the tournament after an earlier draw with South Korea - a win against Nigeria on Wednesday will see Mo Marley's team progress.
Speaking to the FA website after the match, Mead said the goal was her best ever.
“Without a doubt it’s the best goal I’ve ever scored,” she said.
“My phone has gone in to meltdown. It’s mental. I scored two goals in Finland and my phone went mad then, but it’s nothing like this. It's gone viral.”
