I just sacced my rook to launch this attack

Material: Pawn vs. Rook (4 points under)

As played: Nxg6 Kh7 where i can't find a followup, and lose in the endgame after taking the rook.

Did i miss something better?

Nxg6 works, but I think you have to play Ne7 after Kh7.

1. Nxg6 Kh7 2. Ne7

2...Kxh6 3. Nf5+ Kh7 4. Qg7#
2...Qxe7 3. Qg7#
2...Rg8 3. Qh5 wins at least the queen (with a discovery a few moves later), but might lead to mate.

Ng6 Kh7 Bg5 also looks promising
