I played this game yesterday at the local club but haven't had a chance to analzye with an engine yet. I offered a draw because I was pretty low on time but does anyone see a winning line for Black here being up a pawn?

Qh5 e7 Kf7 e8=Q Kxe8 Qe6+ followed by Rxq, and I can't see any better defence for black.
Qh7 e7 Re5 fails to Qc8+
