Parser error in Laravel 5.5

In my view , welcome.blade.php I'm getting a parser error in the following HTML snippet:

<div class="single_service_left">
    <img src="{{ asset('images/flaticon4.png') }}" alt="" />
</div>

Until then it seems perfectly normal, but the following error is displayed:

  

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '')); > "/ > ' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ',' or ')'

And debugger points to the row that would be "parse" as follows;

<div class="single_service_left">
    <img src="<?php echo e(asset('images/flaticon4.png')); ?>" alt="" />
</div>

The PHP version I am using is 7.1
