No, Motylev defeated himself in a won position.
Another nice interview with your sister here:

i hope Magnus is on his way to win his first big tournament here!!! :)))
I agree with arnfinn, Motylev simply blundered after a very nicely played game.
who cares if his opponent blundered in a ‘won’ position? It wasn’t so ‘won’ after all then?!?
Give Carlsen the credit he deserves! He won the game!!
I’m sorry, but Magnus is not going to be happy with that one. Of course he’ll feel a lot better than Motylev!
Why did Motylev resign?
isn’t white better after Qg7 Kg7, nf5+ Kh7, Nd6 Re5, Kg3 ?
He would be better if only he had been allowed to move his knight. Unfortunately that’s against the rules of chess.
