I think it was a draw, not a victory. Germans simple decided to not go on. In a moment the RAF was almost depleted and ll not survive another day until Hitler 'geniality' decided to stop attack RAF facilities and start to attack citties and civilians. This give a breath to the almost dying RAF.
Another strategic failure was not capture Malta and deny allies of resconstitute their forces there. In the end I think that luftwaffes had not the effective to battle in so many fronts.
