He made his Fulham debut on 2 February against Manchester United at Craven Cottage, coming on for Giorgos Karagounis. Since making his debut for the club, Emanuelson was involved in a number of matches in the first team, playing in different midfield positions. He scored his first goal for Fulham in a 3–0 win over Swansea City on the final day of the season. Following this, he returned to his parent club, as Manager Martin Jol previously stated that he ruled out of signing him. Reflecting in his time at Fulham, Emanuelson said: "I think I have adapted to English football even though football is completely different here. I was asked to do so. Moving to Fulham and I caught the ball: I always wanted to play in the Premier League."
