Getting Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ MethodNotAllowedHttpException - symfony

Question

I'm sending a PUT request that handles input data and updates a record, but I get the above response. The problem doesn't seem to be the route, however, because if I do dd($user) after the $user = User::whereId($id)->firstOrFail(); line, I get the object returned correctly.
Yet, when it comes time to validate it, it throws this error.
# routes
Route::resource('users', 'UsersController', ['only' => ['index', 'show', 'update']]);
# api call
PUT /users/2
# controller
public function update($id)
{
$user = User::whereId($id)->firstOrFail();
$input = Input::all();
$this->userForm->validate($input);
$user->fill($input)->save();
return $user->toJson();
}
# userForm class
<?php namespace Olp\Forms;
use Laracasts\Validation\FormValidator;
class UserForm extends FormValidator {
protected $rules = [
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
'password' => 'required',
'password_confirmation' => 'required|same:password',
'firstname' => 'required',
'lastname' => 'required',
'schoolname' => 'required',
'address1' => 'required',
'address2' => 'required',
'postcode' => 'required',
'city' => 'required'
];
}
and in my UserController:
use Olp\Forms\UserForm;
class UsersController extends \BaseController {
function __construct(UserForm $userForm)
{
$this->userForm = $userForm;
}

I'm not a Laravel guy, but a quick check on their documentation indicates that Resource Controllers support PUT in addition to other HTTP verbs.
I was not able to figure out how to add HTTP verb support to an arbitrary action, but this indicates that you can name a controller action prefixed with the verb it responds to
public function putUpdate($id)
