You forgot double-quotes to close value from input submit
<input type="submit" ... value="delete">
and a comma in composer json after package:
"maatwebsite/excel": "~2.1.0",
Finally HTML forms do not support PUT, PATCH or DELETE actions. So, when defining PUT, PATCH or DELETE routes that are called from an HTML form, you will need to add a hidden _method field to the form. The value sent with the _method field will be used as the HTTP request method.
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE">
You may use the method_field helper to generate the _method input:
{{ method_field('DELETE') }}
