laravel - trying to remove item from fetched collection

I need to remove items from a collection based on an attribute (Laravel 5.6).

$leagues = League::all();

foreach($leagues as $i => $L){
  if($L->status == LeagueStatus::HIDDEN){

    $leagues->forget($i); <<<<======== 1st attempt
    unset($leagues[$i]);  <<<<======== 2nd attempt

  }
}

return response()->json($leagues->toArray());

Both methods removes the items correctly, but causes that response JSON comes as object:

{         <<<<======== ITS OBJECT WITH NUMBERED KEYS, NOT ARRAY
  "0":{
    "id":1,
    "title":"test...

Correct JSON would be:

[         <<<<======== NORMAL ARRAY WITH OBJECTS
  {
    "id":1,
    "title":"test...

Am I doing something wrong?

Use values to get a new Collection with the keys reset to consecutive integers:

return response()->json($leagues->values());

Just replace this

return response()->json($leagues->toArray());

to

return json_decode($leagues);
