Chess Puzzle

Today's test:



(White to move) is a pawn up, but Black threatens to regain it at once by Bxg4, while if White plays 1.Nf6 then Kg7. What did White play in the diagram, and how did the game end?

Solution to last puzzle:
Hartston - Whiteley
Cambridgeshire v Middlesex match 1973
1.Qg6+! and wins. If 1...Qxg6 2.Rexe7+ Kd8 3.Rbd7 mate.
