Laravel 5.3 Ajax Login

I'm trying to login my users with ajax with a new Laravel 5.3 project.

I've generated the auth routes, which got added to my web.php:

Auth::routes();

I have a html form with email, and password inputs and the csrf field. Then I also have this javascript file:

$("form.login").submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    $.ajax({   
        method: "POST",
        data: $("form.login").serialize(),
        url: "/login"
    })
    .done(function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    });
});

When I post it however, this shows up in my network tab:

It redirects back to the original page, without returning any data.

Why is it doing this?
