Lichess analysis board:

https://lichess.org/analysis/8/4p2p/2K2NkB/8/8/8/8/8_w_-_-_0_1?color=white

Solution
  1. Ng8 Kf7 2. Kd7 Kxg8 3. Ke6 Kh8 4. Kf7 e5 5. Bg7#
Alternative

If white does not take the “free” knight

  1. Ng8 Kf7 2. Kd7 e5 3.Ke7

And white will be able to stop both pawns without losing a piece and will have to manage the knight+bishop checkmate

Found here, with some annotations: https://lichess.org/study/z3dI39r6/X7fZOtHc
