Laravel 4 Form Submission and Input Retrieval - php

Question

I am a beginner in Laravel. I am trying to make a simple login form, by using a controller to manipulate the input. However everytime the code just ignore the controller function and keep calling the index everytime I submit. Please advise.
Here is the code for my form
{{ Form::open(array('action' => 'CoverController#authent')) }}
<div class="col-md-3 text-box pull-left">
{{ Form::email('email', '', array('placeholder'=>'Email')); }}
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 text-box pull-left">
{{ Form::password('password', array('placeholder'=>'Password')); }}
</div>
<div class="clearfix"> </div>
<div class="con-button">
{{ Form::submit('Sign Up / Log In'); }}
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
Below is my routes
Route::get('/',array('as'=>'users','uses'=>'CoverController#index'));
Route::post('/','CoverController#authent');
Here is my controller function
class CoverController extends BaseController {
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* #return Response
*/
public function index()
{
$view = View::make('cover');
return $view;
}
public function authent()
{
$email = Input::get('email');
$pwd = Input::get('password');
$view = View::make('formoid')->with('email',$email)->with('password',$pwd);
return $view;
}
}
With the above code,everytime the login button is pressed, the index() function is called instead of authent(), what am I doing wrong?

Try:
{{ Form::open(array('url' => '/', 'method' => 'post')) }}
