The Atletico Madrid defender inexplicably ran at Foden after he was booted to the ground by Felipe.
Felipe’s swipe at the City star earned him a second yellow as the clock struck 90 minutes.
The Brazilian escaped a yellow for clattering Foden early on but was cautioned for a foul on Kevin de Bruyne.
But after taking down Foden on the sideline, Felipe left Foden rolling on the edge of the pitch.
And Savic – who played 21 times for City between 2011 and 2012 – sparked utter chaos by trying to confront Foden and drag him back off the playing surface.
The England ace was protected by his team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko, who was warming up.
But Savic’s needless reaction caused a mass melee including players and coaches in the corner.
Replays even showed the Montenegro man shove his head into Sterling’s forehead behind the referee’s back while he dealt with Felipe’s mindless furious protests.
However, despite the aid of VAR, Savic somehow escaped with just a yellow card.
