Comments would be great
What did the computer analysis say?
Very strange game 18... Qe7 was a huge blunder if instead Bxh2 then black has a lot of initiative winning a piece, maybe even winning although white has some compensation. but I guess that move is not so easy to see.
Anyways good job on the win.

Cool line mat.
Both of you played too fast. This was a 10+0 time control but after move 18 you both had 8 useless minutes on your clocks. You played as if it were 2+0 bullet.
18...Qe7?? was a blunder indeed. 18...Bxh2+ 19 Kxh2 Qh4+ and 20...Qxe4 and black stays a piece up and wins the game.
7 dxc5 was premature. Better wait until he plays his Bf8, so as to win a tempo. Besides dxc5 trades a cebtre pawn d for a wing pawn c.
8 b4 is questionable: you get yourself a weak pawn at c3 on an open file.
9 a4 is wrong: you should aim for c4 so as to get rid of the weak pawn.
14 Nxf7? is incorrect.
17 Bxf6?? is wrong. You had a chance to profit from black's mistake with 17 Nxe4!.
Take time to think.

I am going to be brutally honest here and say, it is very easy to win such a game and think you played incredibly because you sacrificed a piece and mated him but I think you really need to take time to go over it and you will soon realise that the sacrifice was wrong and so were quite a few moves. @tpr has already explained these above.
