Have Denmark beaten England before?

The short answer is yes, and as recently as last year.

England played Denmark twice in the UEFA Nations League in 2020.

They drew 0-0 in Copenhagen, but then in the return game at Wembley, Denmark won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Christian Eriksen.

Going back further, England beat Denmark in a friendly in 2014 1-0, and then 3-0 in the World Cup round of 16 in 2002.

Overall though, England have a good record against the Danes. They have played each other 21 times, with England winning 12 of them, and drawing five.
