Soccer: Thompson urges Liverpool to win

Phil Thompson is urging his Liverpool players to kick on and win their remaining games if the title is to return to the club for the first time in 12 years.

The Anfield assistant manager is looking for an action replay of last season’s run-in when they eventually won three trophies. Liverpool go into the home match against Charlton today in pole position in the FA Barclaycard Premiership after beating Chelsea at the weekend. Thompson said: ‘‘It is nice to be involved in the title race as it has been a bit dull on that front for quite a while.
