In your web.php (routes):

add:

Route::get('logout', '\App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController@logout'); 

In your LoginController.php

add:

public function logout(Request $request) {   Auth::logout();   return redirect('/login'); } 

Also, in the top of LoginController.php, after namespace

add:

use Auth; 

Now, you are able to logout using yourdomain.com/logout URL or if you have created logout button, add href to /logout
