There's more undertone than you're giving it.

Sansa held back information from Jon. Sansa was upset that Jon didn't ask her anything. There's mounting tension.
Sansa officially crossed the moral event horizon. She is now a villain.
The battle was very well filmed. It's not often that you see both the chaos on the field AND the overall pitch. 
Littlefingers appearance and what it means for the group. 
The Danaerys situation FINALLY being resolved in Mehreen, it was really getting tiresome.

The episode was not about good triumphing over evil. The episode was about Sansa's initiation into villainy.

Why is she a villain ?

Her killing of Ramsay was beyond moral justice. 

She just sicced a pack of dogs on a tied down victim ensuring an agonizing death, in a very dramatically ironic fashion, and smiled about it. I know we like to think of the characters in the show, and even ourselves, as people who would be right to do the same. But what's being ignored is that the kill was grotesque. It was something that should've curdled any normal person's blood. She took pleasure in it. 

Not even the hound is so ghastly. Not even the mountain. Not jon, not anyone. It takes a special kind of person to do that, and the only people we've seen do anything like that are Ramsay, Joffrey, Khal Drogo, Visaerys (talked about it), even Danaerys is getting close to being a villain.

Remember, that there are many kinds of villains other than the card-carrying types listed above. Some villains think they are good. Some are Knight Templars, thinking that they are doing the right thing despite what they have to do (like stannis). 

Some references for your consideration of fallen heros turned villain:
Batman's Harvey Dent
Griffith from Berserk
Anakin from Star Wars
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy

All have several things in common, ambitiousness followed by a singular or prolonged event of upheaval which completely changes the way the innocent/naive person thinks about the world, causing them in most cases to commit an act that is beyond normal justice, and crosses into moments of madness and eventually when the dust settles...villain. 

EDIT: Another eerie similarity is that all of these characters, including sansa, hold the belief of "I know better than you do", like she said last episode.
