Black to play and win

Solution

After yesterday's disaster, I straightforward one. At first I thought it was White to play and win, and couldn't find a convincing way to break through- largely because black's pieces are well placed, and g2 is weak, and also there are back rank motifs. So as soon as I checked the position and saw it was Black to play and win I instantly saw 1…Rf4! after which it is game over. Something comes to f2, probably the R, and white's choice is only how to lose.
