Timely Win

EXTENDED my Battersea unbeaten streak to 11 games this evening by beating a 161 in a Central London League match that ended in a 2.5-2.5 tie.
Black has just played 39...Kg6-h5 in Yasser Tello (161) - Spanton (167), Pimlico Knights v Battersea 2
White lost on time, unaware of the time control (he had asked his captain during the game, but there was apparently a miscommunication).
In the brief p.m., YT suggested 40.Rxg7? but that loses more-or-less instantly to the analysis engines' 40...Qe5+ 41.g3 Qf6 (my planned 40...Qf4+ should also win).
More challenging is 40.Qxg7, as proposed by Joe Skielnik, although Black still has a substantial advantage after 40...Qf4.
