🔺the 1...Bf6 was a carelessness by aronian, while he could have played the solid Kg8 and took away any possible risks from the king.
1...Bf6? 2.Bxh7! and now if: Nxh7 3.Qe6+ Kf8 ( 3...Kg6 4.Qf5+ Kf7 5.Qxd5+ kg6 6.Rxb7 +-) 4.Ba3+ Be7 5.Rbc1+-🔺

🔺the Bxa5 was a mistake by Ukrainian grandmaster.
1.B.a5? b4! -/+ 2.B.b4 c.b4 3.Q.b4🔺

🔺Nakamura made a mistake by playing Ne6?
1...Ne6? 2.B.c5 N.c5 3.e5! Ne8 4.d4 +/- white has the upper hand due to spatial advantage.
Nakamura should have played d6 first.🔺
