Hide AdHarry Kane grabbed the winner from close range when he was the first to react to seeing his penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel in the first half of extra time.
Great Dane Schmeichel had a green laser beam shone on his face from the Wembley crowd but that didn't prevent the Leicester City stopper from making the initial save.
Mikkel Damsgaard had earlier put Denmark ahead with a thunderous free kick before an own goal by Simon Kjaer under pressure from Raheem Sterling levelled the match.
Now England have the chance to win the 2021 Euros at Wembley - the same setting of the 1966 World Cup win all those years ago - if they can break Italy's 33-game unbeaten run.
