I won this game in 10 moves as white, but did I play the Queen's Gambit Accepted opening correctly or was there a more optimal way? Please see annotations for details.

I'm not sure if this belongs in the Openings, Game Analysis or Beginners forum.
Because I kinda suck I'll put it in Beginners.

To give you some context: my highest rating achieved was 1241. Not having played for many years I'm now getting used to chess again and trying to work my way back up. I've made plenty of embarassing moves the past few days, but I'm starting to improve. For this particular game, the plan was to play Magnus Carlsen's favorite opening.

10. Ne5 is a blunder because it is not Bxf7. As Bxf7 wins by force, any other move is bad in comparison.
