An exciting game: 1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4 3.e4 Nc6

I din't play but I spent a few days watching at the masters' games.
In the second round, I witnessed the following wild game in the Nimzowitch Defense by transposition.
White was GM David and Black CM Alberton. The first moves were:
1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4 3.e4 Nc6 4.d5 Ne5!? 5.Nxe5 Bxd1
At pages 4&5 of this link, you can find GM David's annotated game in italian language but algebrical notaion:
