I think white can force the passed pawn home after trading of the Rook for blacks pawn on c7. The Knight is easily chased away from covering the pawn advancing, and knight forks on K+P are easily avoided?
What I don't understand is why not try for it regardless if it can be forced. You can't lose in a NxP finish (okay that is not 100% accurate, but white was never going to get mated in this finish with the black king at the other end of the board).
