Another four Lazio players were booked, while five AC Milan players were shown a yellow card on a bad-tempered evening.
The confrontations followed a mini brawl after Pellegrini´s sending-off. Earlier, Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was booked for arguing with the officials.
Lazio was angered at not being awarded a first-half penalty, while Milan had a goal disallowed for offside with a quarter of an hour remaining.
The result took third-placed Milan to within a point of Juventus. Juventus plays Napoli on Sunday.
Lazio remained in ninth place.
