Can anybody explain how can this position be won????



Its from my last game where i thought i dont have anything better than a repetition(although in my game, my opponent blundered). I analyzed it first in this site and the engine did say it was a draw, but I tried a newer version of Stockfish and it evaluated it as -8 for black. It did have a winning line but i didnt really get how, i didnt analyze thoroughly. Can anybody explain it to me? :D
The position really looks fantastic for Black. The idea is of course to go ...Ng4, which White cannot stop. Then, Nf3 can't move because of mate and Rf1 can also not move because of Bh2+ Kh1 Bg3+ Kg1 Bxf2#.

Thus, White cannot move his two pieces that defend his king, and there is really no way for him to organise his defense. Black has time to develop his pieces, Rd8 and opening the center with c5 seems good. If the Be2 moves, Black can (if he wants to) gain material with the funny idea Bh2+ Kh1 Bf4+ Kg1 Nh2!

It's an interesting position where Black has sacrificed a piece, but White is completely tied down. Black can simply improve his pieces and sooner or later, the King will be mated.
oh yeah now that i think about it, after Ng4 he cant really make a move. I played the sac because i thought there would be an immediate kill but it was blitz so i didnt really have time lmao.
