"No message" error laravel - trying to update user account information - laravel

Question

I'm receiving the error "MethodNotAllowedHttpException
No message" on submit of my user's form, which is meant to update the user's table. I have two post forms on the same page and two post routes, would that have something to do with it?
I will include all the routes and another form that might be conflicting with it.
web.php
Route::get('profile','userController#profile');
Route::post('profile', 'userController#update_avatar');
Route::post('profile-update', 'userController#update_account'); //this ones not working
userController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
use Auth;
use Image;
class UserController extends Controller
{
//
public function profile()
{
return view('profile', array('user' => Auth::user()) );
}
public function update_avatar(Request $request)
{
if($request->hasFile('avatar')){
$avatar = $request->file('avatar');
$filename = time() . '.' . $avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
Image::make($avatar)->resize(300,300)->save( public_path('/uploads/avatars/' . $filename) );
$user = Auth::user();
$user->avatar = $filename;
$user->save();
}
return view('profile', array('user' => Auth::user()) );
}
public function update_account(Request $request, $id) //the function with the error
{
User::update([
'id' => Auth::user()->id,
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email
]);
return redirect('/profile');
}
}
profile.blade.php
<img src="/uploads/avatars/{{ $user->avatar }}" style="width:150px;height:150px;float:left;border-radius:50%;margin-right:25px">
<h2>{{ $user->name }}'s Profile</h2>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/profile" method="post">
<label>Update Profile Image</label>
<input type="file" name="avatar">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<input type="submit" class=" btn btn-sm btn-light" style="color:#2b2b2b;" value="Update Image">
</form>
<form method="post" action="/profile-update"> <!-- The form with the error -->
{{ method_field('put') }}
{{ csrf_field() }}
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="PUT" />
<label>Username</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" value="{{ $user->name }}">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" value="{{ $user->email }}">
<input type="submit" id="update-account" class="btn btn-success" value="Update">
</form>

Answer 1

try this method:
public function update_account(Request $request, $id)
{
$user = User::find($id)
$user->name = $request->name;
$user->email = $request->email;
$user->update();
return redirect('/profile');
}

Answer 2

You don't have any route which can handle the PUT request for "profile-update". In your form you have defined the following function.
{{ method_field('put') }}
This helper function generate an hidden input field which will be used by Laravel to process the current request only as PUT.
To make this work, you either have to make your make your request POST by removing the above helper function or change your route method to PUT.
Route::put('profile-update', 'userController#update_account');

Answer 3

For those that might need the same answer, to fix this I had to play about with it for quite some time and used bits from the suggested answers to solve the issue completely.
I changed the route method to put in web.php.
Replaced my update_account function with #TonzFale answer but replaced $user = User::find($id)with $user = User::find(Auth::user()->id);.
