Cannot get delete request to work - rails

I have this route:

delete 'basket/remove' => 'flowercard_baskorder#remove', as: :basket_remove

This link in view:

<%= link_to "Remove", basket_remove_path %>

And this in my controller (the binding is just for me to test):

def remove
   binding.pry

end

When the link is clicked on nothing happens and i have no idea why!? I'm obviosuly expecting the binding to kick in but doesn't even look like a request is made?

Cheers
