Delete keeps going to the Show page on rails application

I'm trying to create a blog in rails, and I'm having a little trouble. I keep getting the page for my show method each time I try to use my destroy method to test deleting an article from my blog. This is the destroy method:

def destroy
 @article = Article.find(params[:id])
 @article.destroy
 flash[:notice] = "Article has been deleted."
 redirect_to articles_path
end

And this is the index file for the home page:

<h1>Listing all articles</h1>
<p>
   <%= link_to "Create new artilce", new_article_path %>
</p>
<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Titile</th>
    <th>Text</th>
  </tr>

  <% @articles.each do |article| %>
    <tr>
      <td><%= article.title %></td>
      <td><%= article.text %></td>
      <td><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_article_path(article) %></td>
      <td><%= link_to 'Show', article_path(article) %></td>
      <td><%= link_to 'Delete', article_path(article), method: :delete,  data: {confirm: "Are you sure?"} %></td>
   </tr>
     <% end %>
  </table>

If someone could please tell me where the faulty code is, I would greatly appreciate it.
