Call razor method from onclick in view

I am trying to find a way to execute a method in my layout view only when a link is clicked. Here's my code so far:

The method I want to call (also in the view):

@functions{
    public void Logout()
    {
        Session.Abandon();
        Response.RedirectToRoute(new { controller = "Home", action = "Index"});
    }
}

The link that'll be clicked to call that method:

<a onclick="// Call the method from here" href="#">Log Out</a>

The question is, how do I go about this?

You can also achieve this by href 

<a href="@Url.Action("ActionName","ControllerName")">Log Out</a>

You can add a controller action in your account controller and then invoke it.

For example, one quick way is to add action method:

public class AccountController : Controller
{

    public ActionResult Logout()
    {
        Session.Abandon();
        return RedirectToAction("Index","Home");
    }
}

and in view you can do it via js:

<a onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("Logout","Account")'" href="#">Log Out</a>

A better way is to create action as HttpPost and do it via a form post. but the above example gives an idea how you can do that on the link click on client side.
