Most likely White had taken this move into account, but missed something further on.

White has insufficient compensation.

White to move
Very imaginative! Black has not castled, yet the capture of this pawn will speed up an initiative on the kingside.
16...Bxh4 17.Rh1 Be7 18.g5 b5 19.a3 Qb7 20.Qg2 a5?!
Too slow. 20...h5!? 21.g6 f5.
21.gxh6 gxh6
22.Rxh6!
Oops.
22...Rf8
On 22...Rxh6 23.Qg8+ Bf8 24.Nf5 wins back the rook, preserving a much better position.
23.f5 b4 24.axb4 axb4 25.Nd5 Nxb3 26.Nxe7 Kxe7 27.Nxb3
White should have had a winning advantage, but his much higher-rated opponent eventually escaped with a draw.
