What is black's response after 20. Nexf7? Or is there just a better option for white?

 computer chose 20.Ngxf7 over 20.Nexf7.

Either knight taking on f7 is winning for white , so how can either move be a "mistake" ? I dont care what the beasts say a winning move is never a "mistake"  imo.

i was surprised to see that the computer analysis of my 20th move was a question mark. maybe because black has a good reply against 20.Nexf7

I put the position on one of my beasts and let it think only a couple of minutes ( maybe 3 ) and it said :

Nexf7 +- (6.31)

Ngxf7 +- (5.58)

Both moves are completely winning and my beast liked Nexf7 best and gave no better move with Ngxf7 being second best but also completely winning.
