Laravel $request->expectsJson()

I am doing an Ajax login for my Laravel application.

I am using Angular:

$http({
  method: 'POST',
  url: '/admin/login',
  headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  data: {email:$scope.email,password:$scope.password}
})

This request works fine, my problem is that Laravel's response always redirects me, as it should if I wasn't sending JSON:

protected function sendFailedLoginResponse(Request $request)
    {
        $errors = [$this->username() => trans('auth.failed')];
        if ($request->expectsJson()) {
            return response()->json($errors, 422);
        }
        return redirect()->back()
            ->withInput($request->only($this->username(), 'remember'))
            ->withErrors($errors);
    }

That is the Laravel framework code. It keeps redirected me back, but I want to fire the conditional if ($request->expectsJson()) and get a JSON response rather than a redirect.

What am I missing in order to trigger that conditional?
