This, obviously, would be where we differ. I see the intial contact as simultaneous with the second contact being the elbow.
If you have it as the defender making first contact that's cool but I don't think you ignore the elbow. It made, IMO, significant contact with the defender and put him to the floor. He probably got there a little faster because he was off balance but, again, I can't ignore the elbow flashing out to create space.
