What's white's best move?

Spoiler

47...b4 wins the queen. It has nowhere to run.

It was a speed chess game that I watched live. White had plenty of time but he got impatient and missed it. I totally missed it too. The eval bar showed white with a huge advantage but I was mystified. I was looking in the wrong place - on the upper right side of the board. I forgot all about the b pawn. And they were playing so quickly I had brand-new other things to try to figure out.

The game was sharp. That's a chess term that I define as pretty damn complicated and tricky. Trying to understand the positions in real time made my head hurt.
