#Excalidraw in #Obsidian is just so good...

Young wasn't upended. He dived ridiculously. He still should've had the penalty though. The game is completely broken right now with subjective rules being double refereed with subjective points of view. No clue what decision VAR is ever going to make. What a mess.
