A Robert Huth double and a Riyad Mahrez strike allowed Claudio Ranieri’s team to open up a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Pellegrini said the visitors deserved their win but also told BT Sport that his side will continue to fight for the title.
"Leicester played better than us, " the Chilean later told the BBC. "Conceding a goal from a set piece after two minutes was very important for the game.
"We had chances but it was a difficult game. I expected more from the beginning because it was very important, we are at home and playing top of the table, but we couldn't do it.
"There are 36 points to play for, nothing is finished. It is important for us to recover our players and I am continuing to not give up because we got an unexpected defeat but we must continue."
