Triumph with the Tromp

Lately I started playing the Trompovsky Attack a bit more with white.

Years ago a (otb) chess friend of mine played it exclusively with white, and we analysed it every now and then.

In this game the Tromp turned into a Sicilian Dragon, and I thought I spotted a nice winning tactic with a thematic exchange sac, and played it. Only to notice that a white knight was hanging. However, the position was won after all.
