Brian Barry-Murphy’s youngsters deservedly earned a two-goal lead at Meadow Park through Jaden Heskey and Mahamadou Susoho’s fine efforts.
However, the Gunners hit back and flipped the match on its head thanks to Amario Cozier-Duberry’s brace and Khayon Edwards’ strike.
With the clock ticking down and the likelihood of a home win growing, Wright, a second-half substitute, hit a fantastic effort from 25-yards to earn the visitors a share of the spoils.
And the 18-year-old says he was delighted to make an impact after being introduced from the bench.
“It was a big moment for me. Coming off the bench it’s always your aim to make an impact and I was glad I could bring that tonight,” he declared.
“The ball came into me and it was more of an instinct thing, you have to react to what’s around you and took the strike on and it nestled in the top corner, thankfully.
“There’s no better feeling in football than when the ball hits the back of the net.
“Arsenal are a big name in football, you see it in the first team and in our division they’re title contenders and it was always going to be a big challenge coming here away from home.
“I thought the boys played exceptionally well tonight the whole game.
“I thought we dominated and we were unfortunate not to come away with the three points.”
Wright’s outing in north London represented his eighth appearance in the Premier League 2 for City this season, while his strike against Arsenal was his second goal of the term.
And he explained how his equaliser against the Gunners was a reflection of our EDS’ stellar attitude and mentality.
Wright added: “The mentality is great here and it’s important from everyone we keep fighting until the final whistle and that’s what we did tonight.
“I think it’s important we try and get as many points on the board as possible. Results maybe haven’t gone our way so far, but I think we’re starting to get a rhythm.”
