Why is this a "Brilliant" move?

Why is this a brilliant move? It is just an obvious fork, so I am wondering why this would be classified as brilliant. It is not like it caused the eval bar to change drastically nor was it a sacrifice of any sort.

Brilliant moves are ones that sacrifice material and are good or best. While technically that meets the definition, that particular move does seem like it should be considered brilliant.

You attacked the pinned knight and forked the bishop and knight.
