Noah Okafor scored with two minutes remaining and a red mist descended on the Lazio players.

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.
